| Description: | Hydrogen technologies are technologies for creating electricity from hydrogen. They are related to the goal of a future hydrogen economy. The application of hydrogen technologies have the potential to play role in preventing climate change and are applicable in many uses.
|
| Details: | Hydrogen is an energy carrier, not an energy source, so the energy used would ultimately need to be provided by a conventional power plant. A suggested benefit of large-scale deployment of hydrogen vehicles is that it could lead to decreased emissions of greenhouse gases and ozone precursors. Further, the conversion of fossil fuels would be moved from the vehicle, as in today's automobiles, to centralized power plants in which the byproducts of combustion or gasification may be better controlled than at the tailpipe. However, there are both technical and economic challenges to implementing wide-scale use of hydrogen vehicles, as well as less expensive alternatives. The timeframe in which challenges may be overcome is likely to be at least several decades, and hydrogen vehicles may never become broadly available. For mobile applications, hydrogen has been called the least efficient and most expensive possible replacement for gasoline. |
