Hydrocarbon Problem & Hydrogen Solution
- Our civilization relies on hydrocarbons for energy, but the carbon emissions cause global warming.
- We need cheap, clean energy alternatives, and hydrogen made from solar power is a promising solution.
Hydrogen: Clean but Challenging
- Hydrogen offers a clean alternative to hydrocarbons, producing only water when burned.
- However, hydrogen's gaseous state and the existing hydrocarbon infrastructure pose challenges to its widespread adoption.
Hydrogen's Clean Burn and Infrastructure Challenge
- Burning hydrogen produces only water, making it a clean fuel source.
- Widespread hydrogen use requires significant infrastructure changes due to its gaseous form, unlike existing liquid hydrocarbons.
