At a time of environmental and energy-related crisis – combined with increasing awareness of a global society – fuel cell (FC) and hydrogen technologies are gaining more and more attention as part of the shift towards a cleaner economy based on renewable energy sources. This book is the first attempt to explore FC and hydrogen technologies by embracing a solid theoretical perspective in the field of innovation and management. Adopting a cross-sectional and international perspective, the book analyzes the implications of introducing FC into the industrial system and explores the complexity of market development for new technological solutions.
