  1. Alternative Energy:Hydrogen Bailey Stover Louisa McNicoll Shelby Powell Period 4

  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
