Hydrogen in Transportation
(Scrivener Publishing LLC, 2026) Mohammad Danish, Mohd Sadat, Syed Aqeel Ahmad, Mehmet Ali Silgu
The transportation sector is a major contributor to global emissions, necessitating a shift toward sustainable energy sources. Hydrogen has emerged as a promising alternative fuel, offering zero emissions and high energy efficiency. This paper explores the role of hydrogen in transportation, focusing on its adoption in freight transport, business models for hydrogen producers and refueling station owners, and policy frameworks supporting its integration. Various studies highlight strategies for hydrogen deployment in different regions, including China, Sweden, and the Nordic countries, with an emphasis on decarbonization, market acceptance, and infrastructure development. Key challenges such as hydrogen production, storage, transportation, and fuel cell advancements are also discussed. Additionally, the paper examines the economic and environmental implications of hydrogen as a transportation fuel, including the potential of green hydrogen from renewable sources and biomass-based hydrogen production. By analyzing global trends, technological advancements, and policy initiatives, this study provides insights into the feasibility of hydrogen as a sustainable transportation fuel and its role in the transition toward a low-carbon future.
Hydrogen Energy in Developing Countries
(Scrivener Publishing LLC, 2026) Shrish Bajpai, Divya Sharma
The demand of hydrogen as a fuel is growing rapidly, and it rises as a versatile energy carrier. Hydrogen can be produced through nonrenewable and renewable sources. Developing countries has fast population growth and steady industrialization, which means that energy demand will grow swiftly in transport, electricity, industry, and cooling. Due to the climate change, fossil fuels are less preferred choice to meet the demand. Importantly, the transportation industry will transition to hydrogen and other green fuels. However, most hydrogen is now produced from fossil fuels, but new technologies can generate the hydrogen through the clean energy. Given the versatility in nature, hydrogen can play a great role in making the developing economies to carbon zero. The present chapter throws the light on the major development of the hydrogen energy in the developing counties with the challenges and opportunities of the associated hydrogen economy.
Ionic Liquids in Nanofluids: Design and Applications
(Springer, Cham, 2026) Farhat Aisha Ansari, Amita Somya
The prospective element in the layout of nanofluids for advanced applications, ionic liquids (ILs), is distinguished through their distinct physicochemical attributes, which include strong ionic conductivity, excellent thermal stability, and minimal vapour pressure. Ionic liquid-based nanofluids (IL nanofluids) are produced when nanoparticles are added to ILs. These fluids have improved thermophysical and electrochemical characteristics over their base fluids. The relationship among ILs and nanoparticles has revealed enormous possibilities in thermal transfer systems as a whole storage of energy, and electrochemical equipment. IL nanofluids offer exceptional thermal conductivity (TC), viscoelastic control, and specific thermal capacity, which render them adequate for transferring heat fluids in solar energy production systems and other heat devices. Furthermore, their capacity to keep durability under elevated pressures and temperatures significantly boosts its applicability in severe conditions. Due to the relationship between the particles and the IL matrices, IL nanofluids have enhanced ionic conductivity, diffusion parameters, and proton-transfer capacities in electrochemical purposes. Batteries, fuel cells, sensors, and solar systems have all successfully made use of these characteristics. The design of IL nanofluids involves careful consideration of nanoparticle concentration, size, and surface functionalisation to optimise performance while mitigating challenges such as increased viscosity or agglomeration. Advances in synthesis techniques and characterisation methods have enabled the precise tailoring of these hybrid systems for specific applications. It is now possible to precisely customise these hybrid systems for particular purposes due to developments in synthesis and characterisation techniques. The subsequent research will focus on developing new nanoparticle-IL compositions for future technology platforms and enhancing the sustainability of IL nanofluids. The revolutionary importance of IL nanofluids in contemporary research and development is highlighted in this review, along with their potential to completely alter storing energy and heat transport technologies.
Agricultural Marketing and Trade

Culturally Attuned Promotional Strategies of Food Brands in Diverse Markets
(IGI Global Scientific Publishing, 2026) Mustfa Hussain
Though, expanding abroad can be attractive, offering new opportunities for growth and cultural experiences but it also comes with many challenges. For instance, food brands which enter into international markets face significant challenges in understanding consumer behavior, cuisine, languages and psyche. Global food companies must strike a delicate balance between preserving their brand identity and modifying their messaging in an integrated and culturally sensitive manner. Thus, message must be presented in many languages and styles appropriate to numerous markets throughout the world. Different culture demands different marketing approaches from same brand. This chapter explores the challenges faced by well-known food brands in Asia and Europe, where different cultures require unique marketing approaches. It also highlights the effective promotional strategies used by companies in these regions.
