Transcript and Presenter's Notes

Title: Hydrogen Powered Cars


1
Hydrogen Powered Cars
  • Drive Green

2
Benefits for the US
  • Lessen the dependency upon foreign oil
  • Achieve lower prices at the fuel pumps
  • Cut down on greenhouse gases that produce global
    warming

3
Research Development
  • The Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) has
    been conducting research on hydrogen fuel cells
    for 28 years
  • Have made significant technological advances in
  • Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cells
  • Direct Methanol Fuel Cells (DMFC)
  • The electrolyzer- a fuel cell in reverse,
    liberating hydrogen from electricity and pure
    water

4
Which car is Best for the Environment?
  1. Gasoline fueled cars?
  2. Hybrid cars?
  3. Hydrogen cars?

5
Hydrogen Cars!!!
  • Hydrogen cars offer the promise of zero emission
    technologythe only byproduct from the cars is
    water vapor
  • A few of of the pollutants fossil-fuel burning
    vehicles emit are
  • Carbon Dioxide C02
  • Carbon Monoxide CO
  • Nitrous Oxide
  • Ozone

6
  • Fossil Fuel automobiles emit
  • 1.5 billion
  • tons of greenhouse gases
  • Hydrogen based transportation could
  • eliminate this!!

7
Political Help
  • President Bush has given 2
  • billion in hydrogen highway research
  • Governor Schwarzenegger is pushing to get 200
    hydrogen filling stations built by 2010
  • From Vancouver, British Columbia to Baja
    California

8
Transition to the world of Hydrogen
  • Duel-fuel automotive systems will be developed
    that can run on either gasoline or hydrogen
  • Hydrogen infrastructures will be developed
  • So the switch from fuel cell automobiles to
    Hydrogen automobiles will be a relatively easy
    transition

9
Pros
  • Consumers will finally get a break from the never
    ending rising prices at the gasoline pumps
  • This so called hydrogen highway will lessen the
    dependence on
  • OPEC
  • US oil companies
  • Oil selling nations Venezuela and Saudi Arabia

10
The First Company To Produce a Hybrid
  • In 2005, Honda leased the first commercial
    hydrogen car to a family in Redondo Beach,
    California

11
Want to Buy a Hydrogen Powered Car?
Or Turn your old car into a Hydrogen Car?
12
Companies that sell Hydrogen Cars
  • Audi
  • BMW
  • Ford
  • Honda
  • Hyundai
  • Mazda
  • Mercedes
  • And More!!

BMW Hydrogen 7
13
Prices
  • Range to buy a new Hydrogen Car
  • Range to transform your fossil-fuel car into a
    Hydrogen Car
  • It depends on the company but between 30,000-
    80,000
