Hydrogen Energy Center. Why Hydrogen? Hydrogen has three basic benefits that address these concerns: 1. Use of hydrogen greatly reduces pollution; 2. Hydrogen gas can be produced from methane, gasoline, biomass, coal or water; 3. If hydrogen is produced from water we have a sustainable production system. After the hydrogen is produced in an electrolyzer, it can be used in a fuel cell to produce electricity. The by products of the fuel cell process are water and heat.
Hydrogen, Fuel Cells, and Infrastructure Technologies Program from U.S. Department of Energy, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE). "Hydrogen typically exists as a diatomic molecule, meaning each molecule has two atoms of hydrogen; this is why pure hydrogen is commonly expressed as 'H2'. Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, accounting for 90 percent of the universe by weight."Hydrogen Basics.
Hydrogen Power - Hydrogen Energy from BP. Hydrogen Power works by 'decarbonising' a fossil fuel (such as coal, oil or natural gas). This process would strip the fuel's carbon from its hydrogen atoms. The clean hydrogen is then burned to make electricity in a specially modified gas turbine, while capturing the carbon dioxide and sequestering it in depleted underground gas and oil fields or coal beds. By using hydrogen as a fuel virtually no greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are produced; the main by-product is water.
