  1. Hydrogen fuel energy“Fueling The future” Emily Swanson

  2. Definition and types • Definition- “Is a device that converts the chemical energy from a fuel into electricity through a chemical reaction of positively charged hydrogen ions with oxygen or another oxidizing agent.” • TYPES: • Direct Methanol Fuel Cells • Alkaline Fuel Cells • Phosphoric Acid Fuel Cells • Motlen Carbonate Fuel Cells • Solid Oxide Fuel Cells • Reversible Fuel Cells • PEM Fuel Cells

  3. location Also have stations in Germany, Japan, Korea and the UK.

  4. Resource benefits • No harmful emissions • Environmental friendly • Renewable • Readily Available • Fuel Efficient

  5. Environmental consequences • Highly Flammable • Expensive • Time Consuming • Not Easy to Replace • Dependency on Fossil Fuels

  6. Resource Use • Backup Power • Used to Power Cars • Portable Generators • Heat • Hand-Held Devices

  7. Costs • About $2-$4 per gallon • Refinery Costs: $700-3,500 • $50 for 300 Miles • $1000 for every kilowatt of power used in hydrogen fuel cells • Cars will cost around $10,0000

  8. Applicable legislation • Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. • Energy Policy Act of 1992 • Alternative Fuel Vehicle Acquisition Requirements • Zero Emissions Vehicle Promotion (ZEV) • Low Carbon Fuel Standard

  9. Extra facts • 1 kilogram of hydrogen is equal to 1 gallon of gasoline • There are 10 active hydrogen fuel cell stations in California. • Germany is going from 15 current stations to 50 stations. • Japan is going from 17 stations to more than 100. • Korea has a goal of more than 160 stations by 2020. • UK wants to have 15 new stations by 2020
