An Overview of Using Hydrogen in Transportation Sector as Fuel

摘要

After the industrial revolution, transportation became an important part of our lives, but for the kind of transportation we are talking about fuel is the part whose importance cannot be ignored. But with the starting of twenty-first century, availability of fossil fuels is degrading at a very faster pace. Along with this, automobile produces the highest amount of air pollution by burning fossil fuels. Hence, it is the need of the hour to obtain some substitute of these fossil fuels, among all the avaliable renewable resources Hydrogen is the best one available to us. The best thing with hydrogen is the availability in bulk, and along with this for the generation of power we need a fuel cell that will work as an engine and generate electricity as input is provided to it. Another best part of hydrogen is that its product's water vapors as a by-product when it is combusted. Hence, we can say that usage of hydrogen as fuel will not harm nature as well. There are several methods of getting hydrogen from fossil fuels and water and a lot more for storage and transportation of hydrogen. This is a brief study comprising of all the aspects of hydrogen production, storage, and transport to develop an approach toward the usage of hydrogen as a fuel.
