Developing a Hydrogen Economy: Challenges and Potential
Energy Business Reports, June 2009, Pages: 89
The hydrogen economy is a proposal for the distribution of energy by using hydrogen. Hydrogen (H2) gives off energy when it is combined with oxygen, but the hydrogen itself has to first be produced, which requires more energy than is released when it is used as a fuel.
Some futurists promote hydrogen as potential fuel for motive power (including cars,boats and airplanes), the energy needs of buildings and portable electronics. They believe a hydrogen economy could greatly reduce the emission of carbon dioxide and therefore play a major role in tackling global warming. Countries without oil, but with renewable energy resources, could use a combination of renewable energy and hydrogen instead of fuels derived from petroleum, which are becoming scarcer, to achieve energy independence.
In the context of a hydrogen economy, hydrogen is an energy carrier, not a primary energy source. Nevertheless, controversy over the usefulness of a hydrogen economy has been confused by issues of energy sourcing, including fossil fuel use, global warming, and sustainable energy generation. These are all separate issues, although the hydrogen economy affects them all.
The report on Hydrogen Economy focuses on the development of a hydrogen economy. Technologies involved in a hydrogen economy, case studies, along with the environmental impact are all discussed in this report.
