Hydrogen: The Energy Vector of the Future

Hydrogen is undoubtedly becoming a significant fuel source for the world's future diverse energy requirements. Hydrogen is already a significant chemical product, chiefly used in making nitrogen fertilizers and increasingly, to convert low-grade crude oils, coal and sometimes even biomass into transport fuels. World consumption is c55 million tonnes per year (Mt/a), growing at about 12% per annum.

Distribution
Hydrogen is comparatively easy to transport and store. Typical losses are only in the region of 0.1 percent per day and lower.

Storage
In addition to its use as an energy source by the consumer, hydrogen could be an alternative solution to electricity storage - even when taking the losses in the conversion processes (electrolysis or H2P, fuel cell) into account.

H2 Power Systems offers a technology that produces clean and cheap hydrogen.

Clean
Hydrogen from water and sunlight is pure and is environmentally friendly. The H2PS devices do not contain or produce harmful materials and can be recycled; they do not result in hazardous waste.

Cost effective
Cost effective means that H2 Power Systems claims that it will be able to produce hydrogen at a cost that is extremely competitive with that of other solar hydrogen generator techniques. Furthermore, it will be competitive with hydrogen produced by electrolysis.
