UK-SHEC considers that hydrogen ultimately derived from
renewable sources and used as an energy vector must be
considered as a major component of a sustainable energy
future in the UK and internationally

Renewable Energy (all Known Sources)
Electricity - then electrolysis of water
Hydrogen
CO2 + H2 CO + H2O
2H2 + CO (CH2)n + H2O
HydrocarbonsStore energy as hydrocarbons
Transport energy as hydrocarbons
Use hydrocarbons as liquid fuels
Hydrocarbons + air CO2 + water
NET production of carbon dioxide in ZERO
