The majority of modern manufacturing processes rely on industrial gases. The editors estimate that given current rates of development, and there will be an increase in world demand for industrial gases of about seven percent per year. This collection of articles by experts from leading industrial gas and engineering companies describe the production of atmospheric noble and synthesis gases, including hydrogen and carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, acetylene, and medical and special gases. With actual applications such as aspects of hydrogen technology and the use of hydrogen in fuel cells as well, the contributors address logistics, the air gases of nitrogen, oxygen and argon, the noble gases of neon, krypton, xenon and helium, gases used in synthesis such as hydrogen and carbon monoxide, natural gas, fuel gases, and mixtures. They also describe the use of gases in medicine including medicinal oxygen, home therapy gases, gases for anesthesia, and medical carbonic acid.

Almost every modern manufacturing process relies on industrial gases, and sales of such gases are expected to rise by around 45% over the next five years.
Here, experienced and authoritative experts from one of the two world's largest producer of industrial gases impart their knowledge on atmospheric, noble and synthesized gases, carbon dioxide, LNG, acetylene and other fuel gases, as well as special and medical gases. Modern applications, e.g., the use of hydrogen in fuel cells, are included as well. This practical text is rounded off by a section on logistics.
