About the Book

The idea of the Hydrogen Romantic book came to my mind after working for several years with the leading hydrogen energy scientists and observing their activities. One of those scientists, Dr. Turhan Nejat Veziroglu, has devoted his life to this topic, becoming much loved and respected around the world. In addition to all the momentous events in which Dr. Veziroglu has been involved, his memories are very interesting. Such a life is almost like navigating the pages of history, allowing admirers to gain information without being bored. I asked him to spend one hour with me every day, so I could interview him. During those one-hour periods, I asked him questions, and I recorded his responses. After I finished the interviews, I listened to the recordings. From this, I wrote the book. In addition, I did research on the sections dealing with the historical events. I've added this research as narratives in the book.

This is a remarkable book about life and career of one of the greatest visionaries of our time, Dr. Turhan Nejat Veziroglu. I recommend this book to everyone who is interested in history of the Hydrogen Movement, hydrogen energy technology and all the researchers, engineers and enthusiasts who turned the "hydrogen dream" into reality.

This book is about the life and achievements of Prof. Dr. T. Nejat Veziroğlu. As you read the book you are remembering the history of Turkish Republic, how the revolutions of Atatürk have changed our nation’s faith. He was born in İstanbul in 1924. The book is written as he is telling us about his life and his family. There are also many photographs related to his life, family and friends. After completing his education in England, he returned to Turkey and worked on several jobs. In 1962, he received an offer from University of Miami for Associate Professorship, he accepted and moved to USA with his wife and son. He founded the Clean Energy Research Institute at the University of Miami. In 1974, he announced the Hydrogen Energy/ Hydrogen Economy idea at the Hydrogen Economy Miami Energy (THEME) Congress. Delegates of the biannual congress World Hydrogen Energy Congress WHEC have met in Miami for the first time in 1976. He and his colleagues from 10 different countries who were called Hydrogen Romantics founded International Association for Hydrogen Energy and International Journal of Hydrogen Energy started publication. Approval of UNIDO and the financial support of Turkish Government, UNIDO-ICHET started in İstanbul. He was the first chairman of the center. In 2006, he married to Ayfer Kale and returned back to his job in University of Miami. Their daughter Lili Ferruh was born 14 November 2007. In 2009, he retired from University of Miami. He transferred the IAHE flag to Prof. Dr. John Sheffield on March 2019. This book also includes the inception of the idea of hydrogen energy and its international acceptance, the story of the opening of the Hydrogen Age narrated by Dr. T. Nejat Veziroğlu. It shows how Veziroğlu encouraged, enabled and supported many researchers around the world on this subject. We also thank to his wife Dr. Ayfer Veziroğlu and his son Emre Veziroğlu to follow his footsteps. Long live our dear Professor Veziroğlu, you have changed the world. I recommend strongly, especially to the young people to read this book. It will encourage you what to do for a better future on earth. It will show you how important to survive and go after your ideas until they become true. You will always remember hard days need your struggling, but good things will remain forever.

Hydrogen fuel cell energy generation technology based on green hydrogen produced by water electrolysis is rapidly gaining mainstream status worldwide, despite fierce opposition that prevailed over several decades. While actively participating in this rapidly growing field of academic knowledge and business endeavours, one becomes acutely aware of tremendous effort made by amazing people that defined the opportunities offered by hydrogen as a universal energy carrier and conveyed them to humanity. Among them, Dr T. Nejat Veziroglu occupies truly unique place, as probably the most prominent “hydrogen romantic” ever, whose long and very successful life is dedicated to what many of us know as “hydrogen economy”. This very term was formulated and announced by Dr Veziroglu at THEME Conference in 1974, the birthplace of the concept that is currently firmly on track to become the dominant socio-economic reality within a couple of decades from now. This, together with many other formative steps, such as founding of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy and initiating the WHEC series of conferences, are vividly and informatively described in this book, alongside many interesting and remarkable facts of Dr Veziroglu personal biography, which makes it a real encyclopaedia of scientific, industrial, political and business life in the 20th and early 21st centuries.

This remarkable book is about life and scientific contributions of greatest scientist of our time, the star of hydrogen science, Dr. prof. Nejat Veziroglu, who is known worldwide as "The Father of Hydrogen Science". He is a prominent figure in the Turkish world, who is among the names of world scientists. I have never forgotten Dr. Nejat Veziroglu's first visit to Baku, Azerbaijan to participate at the "Energy, Ecology, Economy" International Conference in the 80s of the last century. He was like a bright star who left his charm among all the scientists and locals who met him here. But I would say, he is not just a star, he is a Sun that warms and inspires people around the world. He established a solid relationship based on scientific exchanges between many scientists and always open with valuable advices and suggestions when we ask him. Even until now, we the scientists in Azerbaijan remember and quote him. Dr. Nejat Veziroglu's establishment of the Hydrogen Center at the UN was a great contribution in the development of clean energy sources. It created a path for research and further studying of renewable energy sources. Approximately, fifteen years ago, the International EcoEnergy Academy (IEEA) of Azerbaijan and the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences nominated Dr. Nejat Veziroglu for the Nobel Prize. Because he deserves the first prize for hydrogen science. With a great honor, I would like to say that he holds a gold medal and honorary professor at the IEEA. I have read this book with great interest and pride and thank Dr. Nejat Veziroglu for including me into it. I already recommend this book to all my friends and partners, to read and learn about magnificent life of a great man and scientist. Dear Nejat, thank you for being a wonderful friend, I'm so proud and happy that I know you. May Allah protect you and your family. My and our family's best wishes.

This book says about the life history of the emperor, Prof. Turhan Nejat Veziroglu, of hydrogen world. Even though he had some difficulties during his human life, it is the most important value for him to realize the bright future of hydrogen energy. He found an IAHE(International Association for Hydrogen Energy), published IJHE(International Journal of Hydrogen Energy) and organized the system of WHEC(World Hydrogen Energy Conference) and WHTC(World Hydrogen Technology Convention). Because of his devotion to hydrogen world during his lifetime of about 100 years, many hydrogen fuel cell vehicles without air pollution are running on our roads instead of ICE(Internal Combustion Engine) vehicles and the hydrogen produced from renewable energy sources such as wind energy and solar energy is stored and used worldwide. He was nominated as a candidate of Nobel Prize winner in economy because hydrogen energy contributes for the world energy economy positively. This book is valuable to know how to live for only one life and to think how to change our world better.
