Alternative Energy: Hydrogen

1
Alternative EnergyHydrogen

• Bailey Stover
• Louisa McNicoll
• Shelby Powell
• Period 4

2
How does this work?

• The exchange of H ions betweens the catalysts
  from the stored hydrogen.
• Electrons cannot pass and create an electric
  flow. This electric flow creates energy.

3
What is it best suited to do?

• Replacing fossil fuels
• Propelling space shuttles
• Automobiles, trains, buses, etc.
• Fuel in furnaces, turbines, jet engines, etc.

4
How realistic is this energy?

• Ideal energy carrier in the future
• Contains 3 times as much energy as natural gas
• 10 million tons of hydrogen already used
• 10 times more would be needed

5
Will we be using it in the near future?

• Considered ideal for the near future.
• Automobile and power generator sector.

6
Advantages

• Produces 3x as much energy as natural gas.
• Efficient energy carrier and an environmentally
  benign fuel as well.
• Water main byproduct

7
Disadvantages

• More dangerous than other substances
• Costly
• Unpredictable
• Hard to store
• Requires input of energy
