Why Hydrogen
"The time is ripe to tap into hydrogen’s potential contribution to a sustainable energy system." IEA
Why Hydrogen?
H2 Zero-Carbon
No CO2 is generated in use/combustion
H2 Is The Lightest Element
H2 is the lightest element in the universe and energy density and has high (gravimetric) energy density
H2 Can Be Stored
H2 can be stored for weeks, months or years. It can be transported over long distances via pipeline or truck carrier or oceangoing vessel
Able To Reduce CO2 Emissions
Able to reduce CO2 emissions of large industry including steel, glass, chemicals, transportation, and power generation
All H2 Burns The Same
All H2 burns the same, how it is manufactured is the key difference
H2 Wins at Energy Storage. Zero Carbon and High Heat Value
Energy Comparison: Lower Heat Value MJ/kg
