Hydrogen — the first element, clean burning and packed with energy — has been hailed as the fuel of the future for generations. Today it is cast as a linchpin of decarbonisation and backed by billions in subsidies. But is hydrogen really the net-zero breakthrough we’ve been waiting for, or a costly distraction? This book cuts through the hype, unpacking the science, economics, and politics of the hydrogen economy with clarity and precision. Drawing on decades of energy research, it shows where hydrogen might truly deliver — and where it won’t. A sharp, timely guide to the new hydrogen gold rush.

Mark Glucina holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Auckland, and has held research, teaching, and consultancy roles in New Zealand and Japan. With a focus on sustainable process engineering, decarbonisation, and the energy transition, he is known for making complex technical ideas clear and compelling for diverse audiences. Kozo Mayumi holds a PhD from Kyoto University. He has worked in the fields of energy analysis, ecological economics, complex hierarchy theory, and alternative money theory. In 2013, he became the first recipient of the Georgescu-Roegen Award (Unconventional Thinking Category) at the 13th Delhi Sustainable Development Summit. He is currently a professor at the Kyoto College of Graduate Studies for Informatics, following his retirement from Tokushima University in March 2020.
