Title: The Hydrogen Economy


1
The Hydrogen Economy
Where is it?
2
  • . to enable a commitment by auto-makers no
    later than year 2015 to offer safe, affordable,
    and technically viable hydrogen fuel cell
    vehicles in the mass consumer market and to
    enable production, delivery, and acceptance by
    consumers of model year 2020 hydrogen fuel cell
    and other hydrogen-powered vehicles that will
    have
  • a range of at least 300 miles
  • (ii) improved performance and ease of driving
  • (iii) safety and performance comparable to
    vehicle technologies in the market and when
    compared to light duty vehicles in model year
    2003
  • (I) fuel economy that is substantially higher
  • (II) substantially lower emissions of air
    pollutants and
  • (III) equivalent or improved vehicle fuel system
    crash integrity and occupant protection.

COST SHARING. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.Except
as otherwise provided in this title, for research
and development programs carried out under this
title the Secretary shall require a commitment
from non-Federal sources of at least 20 percent
of the cost of the project. The Secretary may
reduce or eliminate the non-Federal requirement
under this paragraph if the Secretary determines
that the research and development is of a basic
or fundamental nature or involves technical
analyses or educational activities.
4
Except as otherwise provided in this title, the
Secretary shall require at least 50 percent of
the costs directly and specifically related to
any demonstration or commercial application
project under this title to be provided from
non-Federal sources. The Secretary may consider
the size of the non-Federal share in selecting
projects. Do I smell subsidies for big
companies?

Iceland's Industry minister Valgerdur
Sverrisdottir and Icelandic New Energy's general
manager Jon Bjoern Skulason fuel the first
vehicle, a DaimlerChrysler fuel cell van, at the
new hydrogen station outside of Reykjavik.

Shell Hydrogen participated in opening the first
hydrogen station in Amsterdam, home of Shell
Hydrogens principal global office. The station
is the latest to be opened under a European Union
initiative to demonstrate that hydrogen and fuel
cell buses could be used to provide clean
transport for the continents cities.

Other cities taking part in the CUTE/ECTOS
project include Amsterdam (Netherlands),
Barcelona (Spain), Hamburg (Germany), London
(United Kingdom), Luxembourg, Madrid (Spain),
Porto (Portugal), Reykjavik (Iceland), Stockholm
(Sweden) and Stuttgart (Germany).

Technologies with the best potential for
producing hydrogen to meet future energy demand
fall into four general categories Thermochemical
A steam reforming process is currently used
to produce hydrogen from such fuels as natural
gas, coal, methanol, or even gasoline. To draw on
renewable energy sources, the gasification or
pyrolysis of biomassorganic materialcan be used
to generate a fuel gas that can be reformed into
hydrogen. Electrochemical The electrolysis
of water produces hydrogen by passing an
electrical current through it. Photoelectrochemica
l The photoelectrochemical (PEC) process
produces hydrogen in one step, splitting water by
illuminating a water-immersed semiconductor with
sunlight. Photobiological Photobiological
systems generally use the natural photosynthetic
activity of bacteria and green algae to produce
hydrogen.

A car that runs on just hydrogen and solar power
has completed a journey through Australia - the
first crossing of a continent for a car of this
type.
The organisers say the gruelling 4,000 km (2533
miles) trip shows greener alternatives to the
traditional internal combustion engine can be
developed. The exhaust emissions of the
Japanese - built car consist of pure water.
Sydney's Lord Mayor sampled a glass of it when
the experimental vehicle arrived there from Perth.

SunLine Transit Agency, Thousand Palms, CA, is
committed to advancing the commercialization of
clean fuel and clean energy technologies. A
valuable national resource, SunLine is beginning
its fourth year of producing hydrogen on site and
using it in prototype vehicles, and in its ninth
year of operating transit, paratransit and street
sweeping fleets powered 100 by alternate fuels.
24
Hydrogen generated on site from renewable solar
power and reformed from natural gas is used to
fuel ultra-low and zero-emission vehicles and
stationary fuel cells

TORRANCE, Calif., October. 02, 2003 --- Honda RD
Co., Ltd., Honda's subsidiary responsible for
research and development activities has
established an experimental Home Energy Station
(HES) that generates hydrogen from natural gas
for use in fuel cell vehicles while supplying
electricity and hot water to the home.
