1. Hydrogen Fuel Rob Gregory James Brophy Callie Vorhees

2. How Is It Produced ► Steam Reforming  Least expensive  Used for 95% of U.S. hydrogen gas  Emits Greenhouse gases ► Electrolysis  Splits H from O  Very Expensive  No emissions

3. Hydrogen Advantages ► Lightest chemical element, highest weight to energy ratio ► No color, no odor, byproduct = water ► Elimination of the on-board module

4. Hydrogen's Uses ► Refining treated metals ► Processing foods ► Hydrogen fueled vehicles  Only about 500 in the U.S ► Hoped that it can replace gas

5. Zero Emission Fuel ► Hydrogen Gas Vs. Oil  Zero carbon emissions  Emits cold H20  No drilling or disrupting environment  Most CO2 emissions come from gas powered cars  At the time expensive however no emission in making

6. The Hynor Project ► Bergen  H2 from natural gas ► Stavanger  H2 from natural gas reforming (steam reforming) ► Porsgrunn  H2 byproduct from chlorine production ► Drammen  hydrogen from methane rich waste gas ► Oslo  H2 from electrolysis hydropower ► Lyngdal  Compressed hydrogen tube  Romerike -- H2 from biogas and biodiesel (steam reforming) and solar electrolysis

7. The Hynor Highway

8. Will hydrogen energy become mainstream? ► ► It is a distinct possibility. ► ► Need to create facilities to…   Store it, make it and move it efficiantly. ► ► Cost of Catalyst material are expected to drop over the next 5 yrs.   Nanotechnology

9. Hydrogen Power In Michigan Infrastructure ► ► State Funding is necessary. ► ► More Hydrogen fueling stations. ► ► More efficient ways to extract Hydrogen and enter into fuel cells. ► ► Nanotechnology is expensive.
