Benefits for the US Lessen the dependency upon foreign oil
Achieve lower prices at the fuel pumps
Cut down on greenhouse gases that produce global warming
Research & Development The Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL)
has been conducting research on hydrogen fuel cells for 28 years
Have made significant technological advances in: Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cells Direct Methanol Fuel Cells (DMFC) The electrolyzer- a fuel cell in reverse, liberating
hydrogen from electricity and pure water
Hydrogen Cars!!! Hydrogen cars offer the promise of zero
emission technology…the only byproduct from the cars is water vapor
A few of of the pollutants fossil-fuel burning vehicles emit are: Carbon Dioxide C02 Carbon Monoxide CO Nitrous Oxide Ozone
Fossil Fuel automobiles emit
1.5 billion
tons of greenhouse gases
Hydrogen based transportation couldeliminate this!!
Political Help President Bush has given $2 billion in hydrogen highway research Governor Schwarzenegger is pushing to
get 200 hydrogen filling stations built by 2010 From Vancouver, British Columbia to Baja
California
Transition to the world of Hydrogen Duel-fuel automotive systems will be
developed that can run on either gasoline or hydrogen
Hydrogen infrastructures will be developed…
So the switch from fuel cell automobiles to Hydrogen automobiles will be a relatively easy transition
Pros Consumers will finally get a break from the
never ending rising prices at the gasoline pumps
This so called “hydrogen highway” will lessen the dependence on: OPEC US oil companies Oil selling nations: Venezuela and Saudi Arabia
The First Company To Produce a Hybrid In 2005, Honda leased the first
commercial hydrogen car to a family in Redondo Beach, California
Companies that sell Hydrogen Cars Audi BMW Ford Honda Hyundai Mazda Mercedes And More!!
BMW Hydrogen 7
