How Can Hydrogen Help?
The only way to eliminate the human contribution to both the
greenhouse effect and urban pollution is to opt for a new clean
energy based on renewable sources. Overt 150 years, the trend in
energy use has been toward reducing carbon consumption and
increased use of hydrogen. Each dominant fuel, from wood to coal to
oil, and perhaps to natural gas– has contained more and more
hydrogen and less and less carbon. Each successive fuel has been
cleaner and more powerful.
This clean energy can be found by following the trend to its
natural limit and use pure hydrogen, a fuel with zero carbon
content.
Where And How Can We Use Hydrogen?
Hydrogen has many potential energy uses, including powering
nonpolluting vehicles, heating homes and offices, and fueling
aircraft. City buses, automobiles, mining equipment are some
proposed mobile applications that have progressed to demonstration.
Home generators and large electrical generating systems represent
emerging stationary applications. Thus, hydrogen has many
applications and advantages. However, widespread use will require
new means to distribute hydrogen from the producer to the end user,
fueling stations and many other new technologies, concepts and
support facilities.
