An Essential Guide to Fuel Cells, Water Electrolysis, and the Clean Future of Power
Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe — and it may be the most important fuel of the next century. But between the hype and the headlines, what do you actually need to know? The Hydrogen Energy Handbook cuts through the noise and delivers a clear, honest, and practical guide to hydrogen energy, written for curious readers who want real understanding, not just buzzwords.
Written by W. David Jollymore — CEO of GreenElectric Power Corp and a veteran of more than 25 years in hydrogen research, fuel cell development, and real-world field testing — this handbook is grounded in decades of hands-on experience, including over 50 million miles of documented field testing data on hydrogen systems in commercial fleets.
Inside the Hydrogen Energy Handbook You’ll Find
The fundamental science of hydrogen and water, explained clearly with no assumed technical background. HHO gas and electrolysis — what it is, how it works, and the real safety considerations. Hydrogen in combustion engines, with a complete history from 1807 to today, including the author’s own research and field testing with Ford Motor Company. Fractional HHO injection and what the real data shows about combustion enhancement, emissions reduction, and the limits of the technology.
An honest comparison of hydrogen fuel cells versus combustion enhancement — efficiency, emissions, cost, and practicality. The hydrogen colour spectrum (Grey, Blue, and Green hydrogen) with real environmental and economic implications. Storage and transport challenges, the global hydrogen economy, and a realistic assessment of where this technology is headed — including documented field test data from the Canadian Hydrogen Energy Company’s Drive Clean program, showing smoke opacity reductions of 38% to 92% on diesel vehicles.
Why This Book Is Different
The author hasn’t only studied hydrogen — he has built systems, managed engineering teams, partnered with major OEMs, raised capital, navigated regulations, and delivered operational systems in the real world. Every chapter reflects that experience honestly, including both the breakthroughs and the failures.
Who This Book Is For
The Hydrogen Energy Handbook is for engineers and technical professionals exploring hydrogen technologies. Policy makers who need to understand hydrogen at a practical level. Students and curious readers interested in clean energy. Anyone who wants to understand what the hydrogen economy really means — and whether the promise matches the reality.
