Producing Hydrogen (from H2O, Fossil Fuels)
Shafer PowellMary Faith Ryan
The Processes...
Electrolysis of water
Fuel processor or reformers split the hydrogen and carbon relatively more easily and then use the hydrogen.
Why Fossil Fuels May Present a Problem
Easy to split hydrogen and oxygen molecules apart using electricity(the biggest tech hurtle).
Is the core of the REAL hydrogen economy. Energy can be stored.
Why Water May Be “It”
Demand for fossil fuels. Most people don’t live near the extraction
sites. Fossil Fuel emissions severely degrade air
quality, and the carbon worsens the greenhouse effect, affecting the world’s climates.
Third world economies are especially susceptible to fuel economies.
Realities That Need Addressing
The use of hydrogen greatly reduces pollution
Basic Benefits (1)
Hydrogen can be produced locally from numerous sources.
Basic Benefits (2)
If hydrogen is produced from water we have a sustainable production system.
Basic Benefits (3)
Where We are NOW
Currently Existing in U.S. :36 Fueling Stations
Global: 48% natural gas30% oil, 18% coal, 4% water
Main Goal of This Technology
Main Goal Cont.
Natural Gas on a small scale Nuclear Solar Wind Biomass Coal
How Do We Power This Plan?
