Describe the Hydrogen economy (Hydrogen as fuel).

1.	Describe the Hydrogen economy (Hydrogen as fuel).
Answer» The electricity cannot be stored to run automobiles. It is not possible to store and transport nuclear energy. Hydrogen is an alternative source of energy and hence called as 'hydrogen economy‘. Hydrogen has some advantages as fuel Available in abundance in combined form as water. On combustion produces H₂O. Hence pollution free. H₂-O₂ fuel cell give more power. Excellent reducing agent. Therefore can be used as substitute of carbon in reduction for processes in industry. Obstacles in hydrogen economy Transportation: Hydrogen gas is explosive and hence it is difficult to store and transport. Formation of hydrogen from H₂O: The cheaper production of the hydrogen is basic requirement of hydrogen economy which is not possible now. The main aim and advantage of hydrogen economy is to transmit energy in four of hydrogen.

Answer»

The electricity cannot be stored to run automobiles. It is not possible to store and transport nuclear energy. Hydrogen is an alternative source of energy and hence called as 'hydrogen economy‘. Hydrogen has some advantages as fuel

Available in abundance in combined form as water.
On combustion produces H₂O. Hence pollution free.
H₂-O₂ fuel cell give more power.
Excellent reducing agent. Therefore can be used as substitute of carbon in reduction for processes in industry.

Obstacles in hydrogen economy

Transportation:

Hydrogen gas is explosive and hence it is difficult to store and transport. Formation of hydrogen from H₂O:
The cheaper production of the hydrogen is basic requirement of hydrogen economy which is not possible now.
The main aim and advantage of hydrogen economy is to transmit energy in four of hydrogen.
