Sustainable development based future issues

Since chemistry is central for modern life and society chemistry education receives a special responsibility for contributing to ESD in formal and non-formal education. General and domain-specific knowledge and skills are to be developed to enable the individual to assess new chemistry-based products and technologies in their own life and in the society in which they live and operate, as well as to react appropriately. All students need to develop corresponding skills irrespective of whether or not they will later embark on a career in science and technology. All of them will become future citizens and need well-developed abilities for participation in societal debate and decision concerning issues of sustainable development. 

This volume outlines and assesses all these issues as well as the latest technology for individual developments, and it includes alternatives for analysis. Thus, the book gives a comprehensive overview of hydrogen-based technologies and perspectives in the context of future sustainable energy supplies. It will provide experts and decision-makers in economics, industry and politics with a reliable foundation for their deliberations and strategies.
