Hydrogen Power
Hydrogen is the most abundant of the chemical elements, constituting roughly 75% of the universe's elemental mass.[2] Stars in the main sequence are mainly composed of hydrogen in its plasma state. Elemental hydrogen is relatively rare on Earth, and is industrially produced from hydrocarbons such as methane, after which most elemental hydrogen is used "captively" (meaning locally at the production site), with the largest markets about equally divided between fossil fuel upgrading (e.g., hydrocracking) and ammonia production (mostly for the fertilizer market). Hydrogen may be produced from water using the process of electrolysis, but this process is presently significantly more expensive commercially than hydrogen production from natural gas.[3]
- Hydrogen can easily be used in stead of Liquid Petrol Gas or Methane
- Hydrogen burns up to form water
- Hydrogen and Oxygen can be used in fuel cells to produce electricity
With a fuel cell the only byproduct of using hydrogen and oxygen for power is heat and a little steam. Hydrogen fuel is actually an energy carrier although owners of FCVs may think otherwise when they are at the refueling station. The major stumbling block to date in rolling out hydrogen cars is the refueling infrastructure that needs to built in support of the vehicles.
