Hydrogen is an excellent fuel for many

reasons. Hydrogen is:

carbon-freeexceptionally cleanlighter than airodourlessnon-toxicsafe to produce, store and transporteasy to store in large amountseasily produced from many different sources

Where Does Hydrogen Come From?

There are numerous possible sources for producing hydrogen including:-

Electrolysis of water

Reforming organic substances

Pyrolysis

HOW SAFE IS HYDROGEN?

o safer than other flammable fuels such as gasoline or natural gas.

o the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is developing international safety standards.

o Hydrogen has been safely produced, stored, transported, and used in large amounts in industry.

WHAT IS A FUEL CELL?

A fuel cell produces electricity through a chemical reaction, but without combustion

Fuel cells operates much like a battery, except they don’t require electrical recharging.

It’s an electro-chemical energy conversion device that produces electricity, water, and heat.

HYDROGEN FUEL:- Hydrogen is

one of two

natural

elements that

combine to

make water.

Hydrogen is

not an energy

source, but an

energy carrier.

Challenges: Availability.

Vehicle Cost & Availability.

Onboard Fuel Storage.

conclusionHydrogen is the key to bright future.

It able to compete with oil in a global

market, at a fraction of the price.

The fuel that will guide us through the

twenty-first century and beyond for as long

as the sun continues to shine and there is

someone willing to reap its treasure.
