Hydrogen Fuel

• What Is hydrogen Fuel?• A zero emission fuel that use

electro-chemical cells to produce energy that is environmental friendly and reduces dependence of fossil fuels.

• How Does It Work?• Electrons travel through

electrolytes that disrupts chemical reactions that combine hydrogen and oxygen to make water.

Hydrogen Fuel

• Why is it important?• Hydrogen-powered fuel could

improve energy use and lower carbon emissions.

• How is it helping the world right now.

• It is helping the world with not adding more pollution in the world since it is eco-friendly.

Hydrogen Fueled Car

Introducing Toyota Mirai

• Has zero emission

• Electric motor(Quit and Quick)

• Runs on compressed hydrogen that make electricity.

Hydrogen FuelPROS

• High Efficiency

• Clean. Carbon free when using H2 and O2.

• Can use renewable fuels

• Do not need recharging.

• Can run continuously (as long as fuel is available)

• Provides base load power (good complement to renewables)

• No moving parts

• No noise

• Fuel can be made from water which is abundant or many other things

CONS• High cost due to expensive

materials like platinum• Requires fuel• Reliability still evolving.• Durability, particularly at high

temperatures.• Robustness. Many are

sensitive to temperature and contamination.

• Hydrogen fuel not readily available

• Little infrastructure for hydrogen delivery

• Safety concerns with hydrogen

• Low density of fuel, compared to gasoline
