Episode notes
Hydrogen as an Energy Source
- Hydrogen is a small molecule that can be used as an energy source, producing only water vapor when burned.
- It can be burned directly or used in fuel cells to generate electricity.
Clean Hydrogen Production
- Producing clean hydrogen is crucial, as it can be derived from both water and hydrocarbons.
- Current hydrogen production relies heavily on steam methane reforming, which produces carbon dioxide.
Hydrogen in Transportation
- Hydrogen has potential in transportation, particularly for large vehicles like ships and trucks.
- Hydrogen fuel cells could overcome the limitations of batteries in long-haul trucking due to faster refueling times.
