However, as hydrogen is volatile in its gas or liquid form, storing it remains a major challenge in realizing hydrogen economy.

Among Freeman's specific recommendations are a «20 percent federal tax credit to electricity and natural gas utilities that gives highest priority to the efficient use of the energy they supply,» and ban on new coal or nuclear plants and retirement of the existing plants within the next 30 years, government - funded demonstration plants for Big Solar and hydrogen, increasing federal fuel economy standards one mile - per - gallon a year over the next 24 years, tax credits for plug - in hybrids or flex - fuel vehicles, and an excess - profits tax on oil to fund the tax credits.

I suspect that we will be hearing a lot more about hydrogen cars too; the fossil fuel companies might well fund a fake «hydrogen economy» because the cheapest hydrogen is made by steam reforming of natural gas; people think that this is somehow better than just running a car on CNG.

In the body of the study it becomes clear that FCVs do not beat internal combustion engines (ICEs) by much in equivalent fuel economy, And they are not much better in greenhouse gas emissions either, particularly in the liquid hydrogen versions, because of the energy required to transport and compress the hydrogen.

If the Government would recognize that the use of fossil fuel is not sustainable and would set the goal to achieve a hydrogen - based energy economy by 2020 or earlier, it would not only stimulate biochemical and physical research, but additional development of using hydrogen gas in stead of fossil fuel (already possible, but not yet economical).

A future hydrogen economy could use the gas as an energy carrier As this method doesn't produce oxygen which needs to be kept separate from hydrogen, safety from explosion of the two gases is much less of a problem with electricity in the national grids carried by ageing cables, it would be useful to replace them by passing the hydrogen along gas pipes used currently for natural methane gas.

In brief, Joe said that Hydrogen as a substitute for gas (petrol) won't work, mainly because of the distribution costs, but from this he extended to suggest that the Hydrogen economy is a pipe - dream.

«Environmentally Beneficial Nanotechnologies: Barriers and Opportunities» explores the application of nanoscience in five key areas that could reduce greenhouse gas emissions, namely: insulation, photovoltaics, electricity storage, engine efficiency and the hydrogen economy.

The hydrogen economy can be got off the ground and running just fine with reformed natural gas, which is no more carbon intensive than electricity for battery cars is at the moment.

-- Muller believes humans are changing climate with CO2 emissions — humans have been responsible for «most» of a 0.4 C warming since 1957, almost none of the warming before then — IPCC is in trouble due to sloppy science, exaggerated predictions; chairman will have to resign — the «Climategate» mails were not «hacked» — they were «leaked» by an insider — due to «hide the decline» deception, Muller will not read any future papers by Michael Mann — there has been no increase in hurricanes or tornadoes due to global warming — automobiles are insignificant in overall picture — China is the major CO2 producer, considerably more than USA today — # 1 priority for China is growth of economy — global warming is not considered important — China CO2 efficiency (GDP per ton CO2) is around one - fourth of USA today, has much room for improvement — China growth will make per capita CO2 emissions at same level as USA today by year 2040 — if it is «not profitable» it is «not sustainable» — US energy future depends on shale gas for automobiles; hydrogen will not be a factor — nor will electric cars, due to high cost — Muller is upbeat on nuclear (this was recorded pre-Fukushima)-- there has been no warming in the USA — Muller was not convinced of Hansen's GISS temperature record; hopes BEST will provide a better record.

The infrastructure it has built to store and distribute natural gas can one day be used for hydrogen as the solar / hydrogen economy unfolds.»

«Ken Lay, the head of Enron, a large Texas - based national gas supplier with annual sales of $ 20 billion that is fast becoming a worldwide energy firm, sees his company, and more broadly the natural gas industry, playing a central role in the conversion from a fossil - fuel - based energy economy to a solar / hydrogen energy economy.»

One intriguing large - scale hydrogen economy idea is an ambitious proposal for a gas pipeline across NE Asia, to be fed with hydrogen gas (plus some methane) produced by power from wind and geothermal energy sources, and in particular the large wind energy potential that exists along the Aleutian Islands and Kamchatka Peninsula.

Then again it might make more sense to set up a full hydrogen economy with excess power from PV and other renewables, large and small, feeding into large efficient high - temperature electrolysers, and hydrogen then being stored centrally and distributed via the gas grid.

Converting from natural gas to hydrogen power stations is actually the major part of the 40 - year Japanese hydrogen energy economy plan.

All the analyses imply that over the next century the human economy will squeeze most of the carbon out of its system and move, via natural gas, to a hydrogen economy.3 Hydrogen, fortunately, is the immaterial mhydrogen economy.3 Hydrogen, fortunately, is the immaterial mHydrogen, fortunately, is the immaterial material.
