How is it converted? Algae Hydrogen Most of hydrogen comes from natural gases. They get energy by producing a chemical reaction. • Algae goes threw many thermal technologies to create electricity.
What is it used for? Algae Hydrogen The first reason they used hydrogen was for lime lights. Now it is used in large petroleum and chemical industries. • The oil that it gives of is used for making biodiesel for cars, trucks and airplanes.
What are its benefits? Algae Hydrogen Hydrogen is the “most alternative” of the alternative fuels. No greenhouse gases are generated from it. • Algae- They can use the oil for livestock feed, they don’t have to use palms to produce that oil anymore.
Drawbacks Algae Hydrogen It is very expensive, prototype fuel cells last only 1/5th as long as would be needed to make fuel cells cost-effective. • Algae- All algae reduces oxygen levels at night time, it can cause pH fluctuations.
Plans on how to use it Algae Hydrogen They use it as fuel. It is also clean to use so it wont do any damage. • They are going to use farm algae for making vegetable oil, they will also use it for biodiesel
Why is it not our number one energy source? Algae Hydrogen The main reason is because it is also very expensive and most people wouldn’t be able to afford it. • Because algae is so expensive is why its not our number one source.
What does it release into the environment and how's does it affect it? Algae Hydrogen It release carbon into the atmosphere. Which if there’s to much carbon in the air cause’s global warming. • If there is to much it can kill a species of fish and any other living organisms around it. It release hypoxia.
