The energy input needed to keep the process going, Wu says, is heat, which could be provided by solar energy or by waste heat, some of which could come from the power plant itself and some from other sources. Essentially, the process makes it possible to store that heat in chemical form, for use whenever it’s needed. and Ghoniem, A.

Naysayer Alert – the hydrogen red herring

My Electric Car

More significantly it must be realized that hydrogen, just like a battery, is not an energy source in itself, but simply a means of storing energy. The only by products are water and a fair degree of heat, the latter indicating a degree of inefficiency and wasted energy. Hill and Wang. Lambert, F., Whitehead, J., & Washington, S.
