A Financial Times BOOK OF THE YEAR 2021
Picture this: the looming shadow of climate change is finally receding. The planet's temperature is stabilising. Rainforests and coral reefs are beginning to thrive once more. This isn't just wishful thinking - it can be our reality if we embrace the power of hydrogen. Hydrogen is simple to harness, simple to use, and has the potential to bring clean energy to every corner of the globe. As leading energy expert Marco Alvera explains, if we're going to heal the climate, we need to start thinking big. So whether you're a policy-maker, a business person, an activist, or just simply curious, this book is a blueprint for how to get us there.
Reviews and Endorsements
"This lively book is an engaging guide to a fuel that could go mainstream faster than expected" - Financial Times
"Engaging, authoritative and very timely. Marco Alvera spells Hydrogen's critical role as an energy store in the clean power transition, and who can do what right now to kick it over the line" - Mike Berners-Lee, author of There is No Planet B
"No one company can solve the challenge of climate change. We share responsibility, not just across our direct emissions, but across our supply chain too. We must take responsibility for the carbon footprint of our own technology and company, but we will also go beyond that. In his new book, Marco Alvera offers a clear and compelling vision and a blueprint to ensure its success" - Satya Nadella, Chairman and CEO, Microsoft
"To achieve the climate goals from the Paris Agreement, we need a wholesale transformation of our energy system. This book sets out compellingly the role that Hydrogen plays in this transformation and is an important contribution to advance the energy transition" - Mark Carney
"An engaging and insightful overview of the tiny molecule that could revolutionise climate action. Like hydrogen itself, Marco Alvera is a superb connector - of ideas, approaches and practical, positive solutions" - Dr Gabrielle Walker
"In The Hydrogen Revolution Marco has written an invaluable explainer on hydrogen - a key to us achieving net zero. But perhaps more importantly the book is an urgent rallying call for action, a call policy-makers across the globe need to heed" - Peter Mandelson
"As the challenges of the energy transition become more apparent, hydrogen is coming to be seen not only as a new entrant but also an essential fuel for the decades ahead. Marco Alvera, a leader in the international energy industry, explains how he went from being a hydrogen skeptic to seeing the big role that hydrogen can play in the future. And more than that - a hydrogen revolution is coming, he predicts, and sooner than many expect!" - Daniel Yergin, Pulitzer Prize winning author of The Prize
