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
