Hydrogen as a Fuel
Sources of Hydrogen
Sources that Hydrogen can be extracted from:
Natural Gas, Water, Coal, Gasoline,
Methanol, Biomass
Other sources being researched include the
uses of solar energy, photosynthesis,
decomposition, and fuel cells themselves can
tri-generate electricity, heat, and hydrogen.

Gasification
Hydrogen Production
production methods
This process takes place at high temperatures and
pressures.
Produces carbon monoxide and hydrogen
Carbon monoxide can be reacted to produce
carbon dioxide and more hydrogen
About 95% of the hydrogen, we use today coming
from reforming natural gas.
Catalysts:Ni,orAuNi
CH4+H2OCO+3H2H298=206kJ/mol
Water Electrolysis
Hydrogen Vehicles
Hydrogen Emissions
Environmentally
speaking, the use of the
Hydrogen Fuel Cell car
would produce no
harmful emissions, just
a trickle of water.
The only other
emissions are the
burning of natural gas
used to produce the
hydrogen
Hydrogen storage
