The 2007 ARW Using Carbon Nanomaterials in Clean-Energy Hydrogen Systems (UCNCEHS'2007) was held in September 2228, 2007 in the remarkable town Sudak (Crimea, Ukraine) known for its heroic and unusual fate. In the tradition of the earlier conferences, UCNCEHS'2007 meeting served as an multidisciplinary forum for the presentation and discussion of the most recent research on transition to hydrogen-based energy systems, technologies for hydrogen production, storage, utilization, carbon nanomaterials processing and chemical behavior, energy and environmental problems. The aim of UCNCEHS'2007 was to provide the wide overview of the latest scientific results on basic research and technological applications of hydrogen interactions with carbon materials. The active representatives from research/academic organizations and governmental agencies could meet, discuss and present the most recent advances in hydrogen concepts, processes and systems, to evaluate current progress and to exchange academic information, to identify research needs and future development in this important area. This ARW should help further the progress of hydrogen-based science and promote the role of hydrogen and carbon nanomaterials in the energy field.

As was apparent after scientific investigations of Earth ecology and energetic reserves of our planet, at present time humanity have to solve the energetic problem; it is connected with the man future and effect of his activity on the environment, the energetic revolution is to be happen Scientists are of the opinion that hydrogen is the most suitable energy carrier and source, because it is of greatest abundance and ecologically clean Presents consideration of the physics, chemistry, thermodynamics and kinetics of processes of energy conversion, which occur at hydrogen production, storage, transportation and with its use Presents energetic sources, allowed the hydrogen production in the industrial quantities Discusses pioneering attempts to transform motor transport, airplanes, domestic technics, illumination and industrial manufacture on the hydrogen fuel
