1
Energy grows with h2o’s
2
The Meaning Definition- Energy that you use by reacting hydrogen with oxygen. Found in organic compounds Gasoline Natural Gas Methanol Propane
3
Where It’s Used Different hydrogen fuel stations: NASA - uses to propel rockets in orbit California has 10 active “demonstration stations” Other Stations In…: ○ Germany ○ Japan ○ Korea ○ Denmark ○ United Kingdom
4
Benefits of This Resource 1. Always available 2. No Harmful Emission 3. Environment Friendly: Non-toxic. 4. Renewable: break up molecules and done! 5. Fuel Efficient: produces more energy per pound of fuel
5
Consequences 1. Expensive: requires lots of work to free from other elements 2. Storage: moving around 3. Highly Flammable 4. Fossil Fuel Dependency: still need other non-renewable sources. 5. Replacing Gasoline: cars would change.
6
Resource Uses Fuel cells Batteries Cars NASA (propel space shuttle) Fork lifts (used Walmart, Whole Foods, etc)
8
Costs:
9
The target goal is to get the costs to $30/KW So more people can afford it In 2002, it was $275/KW and now it is $47/KW
10
The Acts 1. Federal Power Act: have a license and a good reason to do this 2. National Environment Policy Act: Realize environmental consequences 3. Clean Water Act: It applies with the standards 4. Rivers and Harbors Act: Authorization must be secured for the construction of any navigable water of the US 5. Central Zone Management: be sure the project will be with the Costal Management Program
11
Extra Facts Hydrogen- one of the most abundant elements known in the universe 14 times lighter than air Non-toxic & non-polluting Made from many sources (wind, solar, etc) 10-11 million metric tons of hydrogen produced in the US per year: Enough to power…. 20-30 million cars 5-8 million homes
