To put it another way, instead of splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen with electricity, these two components are joined to make water and electricity The electricity is then utilized to power the car’s drive train, leaving just water as a waste product. The oxygen comes from the air, while the hydrogen comes from a tank.

The energy stored within hydrogen has been imparted from electrical energy through the electrolytic hydrogen production process or more likely in the refinement of fossil fuels such as coal seam (methane) gas – both are energy intensive processes in themselves. . So why haven’t FCEV becoming as prolific as other electric cars?

If the US military increases its use of alternative jet and naval fuels that can be produced from coal or various renewable resources, including seed oils, waste oils and algae, there will be no direct benefit to the nation’s armed forces, according to a new RAND Corporation study.

The thousands of rocket launches needed to loft and maintain these space power stations would dump lots of soot, carbon dioxide, and other pollutants into the stratosphere, with uncertain climate impacts. It would take two or three of these giant satellites to replace one large retiring coal or nuclear power station.

Subsidies that encourage wasteful consumption of fossil fuels jumped to over $400 billion. It is still unclear how much more the consumer is willing to pay for an electric vehicle or what is the desired payback period, i.e. the time it takes for the fuel savings to offset the higher upfront purchase price of the vehicle.

The combination of harvesting whole forests and burning long-sequestered carbon sources such as coal or oil has impaired the Earth’s carbon cycle at an increasing pace. To ignore this potential is wasteful and foolish. It can do this with little disruption to the way homes and industry purchase and use energy today.
