  1. Hydrogen

  2. Introduction to Hydrogen • The simplest element • The most plentiful gas in the universe. • Never occurs by itself in nature—always combines with other elements such as oxygen and carbon.

  3. Introduction to Hydrogen • Technologies exist that can use hydrogen to power cars, trucks, electrical plants, and buildings. • There is no infrastructure for producing, transporting, and storing large quantities of hydrogen.

  4. Products Powered by Hydrogen Underground Transportation Personal Mobility Vehicle Public Bus Line

  5. Energy Content of Hydrogen Hydrogen has the highest energy content per unit of weight of any known fuel 52,000 BTUs per pound.

  6. Hydrogen Production The U.S. currently produces 9 million tons of hydrogen per year, enough to power 20-30 million cars or 5-8 million homes.

  7. Hydrogen Use • NASA is the primary user of hydrogen as an energy carrier.

  8. Forms of Storage • Compressed gas • Compressed liquid • In a chemical compound Hydrogen Storage Tank

  9. Hydrogen Use • Primarily as a chemical to produce industrial commodities.Examples: • reformulated gasoline • ammonia for fertilizer production • food products • various petrochemicals.
