Why Hydrogen Energy?
Hydrogen is an inexhaustible, emission free fuel. Hydrogen, actually hydrogen gas (H2 or molecular hydrogen) holds tremendous promise as an alternative sustainable fuel. It is the most efficient and cleanest burning fuel known to man. H2 is a high energy-supplying, clean-burning and safe gas. Currently, hydrogen is produced from many domestic sources of energy, including fossil fuels, such as natural gas and coal, via industrial processes including coal gasification and steam reforming. Both currently used industrial hydrogen production processes require high energy inputs, and are accompanied with the release of green house gases (GHGs) and other noxious byproducts, such as carbon monoxide. Renewable energy resources, such as solar radiation, wind, and biomass, as well as nuclear energy can also be utilized to produce hydrogen gas either via electrolysis or other reforming processes. The diversity of hydrogen sources and the high energy efficiency benefits of hydrogen fuel cells make
