Hydrogen Fuel: Transition to Hydrogen Economy
The term “hydrogen economy” refers to the vision of using hydrogen as a means to provide an alternative source of non-carbon-based energy. Hydrogen as an energy source is attractive for many reasons. For instance, when hydrogen is burned to produce thermal energy or electricity in a fuel cell, the only byproduct is water. Hydrogen cannot be found in its purest form on Earth. Before hydrogen can be used in a fuel cell, it must first be extracted from other compounds such as natural gas, alcohol, or water. Therefore, hydrogen is…
