Producing Hydrogen, Conversion from Water or Fossil Fuels

This presentation by Bethany Dunn and Josh Monroe investigates the viability of hydrogen as an alternative energy solution. We delve into hydrogen's abundance and environmental benefits, as it constitutes 93% of all atoms and has no negative impact when used in fuel cells. We also discuss the technological and economic obstacles that hinder widespread adoption, including efficiency issues and the development of a hydrogen infrastructure. Additionally, we highlight current applications, from NASA to automotive innovations.

  1. Producing Hydrogen, Conversion from Water or Fossil Fuels Alternative Energy Solution Presentation Bethany Dunn and Josh Monroe APES 3rd Period http://www.hydrogen-fuel.org/hydrogen-fuel_org.jpg

  2. Main Goals of Hydrogen as a Fuel Source http://themoderngreen.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/hydrogen-atom.jpg

  3. Overall Potential of Hydrogen • Greatest potential of alternative resources in terms of protecting the environment • Abundance of Hydrogen • Hydrogen is in 93% of all atoms • The sun produces Hydrogen http://hydroxyautomotive.com/images/sun.jpg

  4. How It Works http://www.greencar.com/articles/hydrogen-fuel-cells-work.php

  5. Technological Obstacles to be Solved • 1:1 Net energy ratio or less • Stripping Hydrogen from fossil fuels and water • Still produces CO2 • Hydrogen as a combustible gas • Hydrogen fuel cells need to be more durable under certain conditions http://www.turkishforum.com.tr/en/content/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/b4.jpg

  6. Political/Economic Obstacles to be Solved • Not efficient as opposed to modern uses of resources • Willingness of public to change resources • Fairly expensive to own and operate • Development of a Hydrogen infrastructure to store and be able to deliver Hydrogen

  7. Impacts of Hydrogen on the Environment • Hydrogen has no negative impact on the environment • Fuel Cells work without moving parts • Hydrogen can be recycled by fuel cells http://www.airquality.dli.mlsi.gov.cy/Images/Articles/Kids_corner/clean.jpg

  8. Putting it to use • NASA is the biggest user of Hydrogen energy • Starting to be more prominent in the automobile industry • Ford fuel cell Focus • BMW H2R • Chrysler Natrium • Fiat Panda Hydrogen • GM Sequel • Mercedes-Benz F-cell • Honda FCX Clarity http://bioage.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/blue_focus_fcv_1.jpg
