  1. Producing Hydrogen (from H2O, Fossil Fuels) Shafer Powell Mary Faith Ryan

  2. The Processes...

  3. Electrolysis of water

  4. Why Fossil Fuels May Present a Problem • Fuel processor or reformers split the hydrogen and carbon relatively more easily and then use the hydrogen.

  5. Why Water May Be “It” • Easy to split hydrogen and oxygen molecules apart using electricity(the biggest tech hurtle). • Is the core of the REAL hydrogen economy. • Energy can be stored.

  6. Realities That Need Addressing • Demand for fossil fuels. • Most people don’t live near the extraction sites. • Fossil Fuel emissions severely degrade air quality, and the carbon worsens the greenhouse effect, affecting the world’s climates. • Third world economies are especially susceptible to fuel economies.

  7. Basic Benefits (1) • The use of hydrogen greatly reduces pollution

  8. Basic Benefits (2) • Hydrogen can be produced locally from numerous sources.

  9. Basic Benefits (3) • If hydrogen is produced from water we have a sustainable production system.

  10. Where We are NOW Currently Existing in U.S. : 36 Fueling Stations Global: 48% natural gas 30% oil, 18% coal, 4% water

  11. Main Goal of This Technology

  12. Main Goal Cont.

  13. How Do We Power This Plan? • Natural Gas on a small scale • Nuclear • Solar • Wind • Biomass • Coal
