Hydrogen: Nature's Fuel

You've probably heard something about hydrogen. You may know hydrogen can be used to fuel vehicles, but did you know that clean, abundant hydrogen is used safely all around you every day? "Hydrogen: Nature's Fuel" shows hydrogen at work in warehouses, golf courses, and even breweries. The hydrogen used in these applications is made in a variety of ways from domestic sources. Hydrogen truly is nature's fuel. With hydrogen, we have the opportunity to create our own clean energy future.

No matter how much energy is used ro produce hydrogen...as long as it provides solutions to the problem of ability to "store" , "transport " and easily "distribute" energy and better still keeps the environment green, Hydrogen is the winner as energy of the future

[@brucefrykman8295]

How do you store and transport hydrogen on a continental industrial scale? In 2022 the USA consumed 7.5 billion barrels of petroleum, 65% of which is used for transportation needs or roughly 5 billion barrels per year for transportation. Each barrel of oil contains about 6 billion joules of energy so we will need 30 billions of billions of joules to supply the current transportation needs of the USA for the current year. This is 30x10^18 joules per year or 30 petajoules (30,000,000,000,000,000,000 joules) to electrify the current US transportation fleet for a year. There are 3.6x10^6 (3,600,000 joules of energy in each KwH of electricity so we need 8.3x10^12 (8.300,000,000,000 or 8.3 Trillion) KwH of electricity per year to move ourselves and our stuff around in the USA at 2022 levels. We currently consume over 4.2 trillion Kwh of electricity per year in the USA. To both make our electricity needs and our fuel needs for our cars, trucks, trains, planes, and ships to run on hydrogen we will need to triple this current level to a production rate of 12.5 trillion KwH per year (1 Kw = 1.34 hp) Tell me how we obtain enough "green" hydrogen to supply the USA with 12.5 trillion KwH of energy per year without completely destroying the entire natural ecosphere of the USA? 238 kJ/mole of H2 or roughly 15,000 moles of H2 per KwH. The IPCC theorizes that if the entire Earth's population ceased using all fossil fuels starting tomorrow, the Earth's average atmospheric could be lowered by 0.13 degrees by 2100 but this would take several thousands of years for it to take effect due to the thermal inertia of the oceans that contain hundreds of times the heat content of the atmosphere. The entire "green energy" issue is simply a trope for socialist slavery, nothing more.

[@wopmf4345FxFDxdGaa20]

Two things; No need to use electricity. Use heat, and there is many massive waste heat sources. Think about a nuclear power plant. You may have 4000 MW of thermal power, but only 1500 MW of electrical power. The remaining 2500 MW is completely wasted. You can produce hydrogen with thermochemical water splitting that requires heat. Only one example of many waste heat streams in energy production. Also solar heat can be used. Second thing is that there is also cases where even using electricity directly makes sense. This case is when there is over production of electricity in the grid, that is a common occurence when you have a lot of renewable production. Either you store with some efficiency, or you don't store at all, when you get the worst of all; 0% efficiency.

@16:22 This guy is speaking the truth. Listen to what he says and you'll understand why names like Salter, Meyer and Mayne have been left out of this conversation and video. If an on demand splitter can be installed in a pump station then the same splitter can be added to the vehicle. No need for storage if used immediately. Of course that would eliminate the opportunity for a lot of money to be made.

[@xtdyuoz123]

No, this guy is wrong. It would be completely cost inefficient. To fill a hydrogen car of 5kg of H2 in 3 minutes (current average), you need a flow of an average of 28 grams/second (actually, current standards of peak flow rates are of 60g/s, because the flow of H2 cannot be constant, but let's ignore this for simplicity purposes). A kg of hydrogen contains 33,3 kWh of energy (LHV), so 28g contain about 1kWh. Filling 1kWh per second means a power output of ... 3,6 MW. This is ridiculous for several reasons : 1) You would need a 3,6 MW eletrolyser, just for charging 1 car. Such an electrolyser costs millions, and will work only a fraction of the time, i.e. when vehicles are charging, so id would be a high CAPEX asset running at very low use rate. 2) Imagine a car plugging itself to the grid, consuming 3,6 MW instantly for about 3 mins, then plugging out... No electrical distribution grid is able to withstand such harsh power consumption variations, let alone doing this for thousands of vehicles charging at the same time. 3) You still need to compress the hydrogen, and assuming you have no buffer storage you'd need a ridiculously powerful compressor 4) All your auxiliaries (H2 cooler, dryer, etc.) would also be designed to withstand the high variations In short, it is much more efficient to have all your infrastructure downsized by several orders of magnitude, smooth out all these processes and to store H2 before distributing it. Bonus point : you can't just add H2 distribution points beside traditional fuels for safety reasons. There are safety distances between the infrastructures required by regulatory authorities (usually several meters, depending on where you live).

I've driven an EV for 11 years now and it's great; The idea of replacing gasoline with hydrogen was brought forth by the fossil fuel companies as a kind of 'Gasoline 2'; the idea was to continue the current mining, refining(now called reforming for hydrogen)and distribution networks, gas stations. However, it all went south when they finally tried to implement the grand idea because of the enormous technical issues. Technical issues some of which will never be solved without a gross ongoing economic overhead. Nope! hydrogen has a place; but, not in ground transportation; perhaps in commercial aircraft and/or seagoing cargo ships; but not in trains, trucks or automobiles.

[@ForzaJersey]

Yeah, that's a long debunked conspiracy theory about fossil fuel companies. If BEVs are the future, existing Oil companies will be making most of their money from EV fast charging, industrial chemicals, and biofuels. Oil companies have the best locations for refueling or recharging. They will have MW fast chargers that will allow most EVs to fully recharge in about 5 minutes. Until lithium ion batteries became affordable, hydrogen fuel cells seemed like the only realistic way to electrify our transportation system. Unfortunately, hydrogen from water electrolysis is net negative energy and affordable hydrogen is dirty. Batteries are just way more efficient than hydrogen fuel cells even if battery energy density is crap and battery recycling sounds unrealistic considering how lithium ion batteries from our electronics are "recycled" via combustion in Southeast Asia or Africa.

The problem was being able to setup a way to run powerlines to major population centers was not cost feasible. But what if instead of moving the power across to a populated areas you instead put the electricity into ocean water and produced Hydrogen that you could then put into ships and deliver anywhere in the world. This could be the solution for both problems how to create enough clean renewable energy to produce Hydrogen on a large scale and not having to move solar energy across major distances to a population centers.

As liquified H acts like a batter in its own right, imagine a large solar panel array next to the sea in North Africa. This could probably double-up as a desalination plant? Use the solar generated electricity to split the H from the sea water. Although electrolysis is not particularly efficient, it doesn't matter as the solar panel array would be focused on generate H from sea water and compressing/liquifying it. The transport the liquified H around the world. Remember, electricity can't be transported over wires more than about 500 miles. This to me is the core of the Hydrogen Economy. EV cars may still be around for a long time as the battery tech improves and there is already a fair amount of charging station infrastructure. However, can use H for trucks and all heavy transport, industrial applications, heating homes and so on. Although I am not a fan of Globalism, there is a benefit to having relatively poor countries around the equator be the focus of the large solar array farms to generate the H. It's good if those poor countries benefit and increase their wealthy through the export of H.

Over my life I have worked on many fascinating technologies which came and went: they all met a need. I learnt that because we can do something does not mean we should do it. In the end we must ask is the overall power cycle logical. I changed my mind about hydrogen fuel cells about 5 years ago when the trajectory of battery improvement, and the future potential for primary nuclear battery technology was accelerating. Fuel cells will continue to develop for space and niche markets, but I predict their use will remain limited.

[@blazetownsend8785]

I had the opposite experience. The more I had studied battery tech thinking it was the future, the more I felt like it has a wall that it will hit. The biggest is the materials required and how we would be unable to provide a battery operated car to everyone needing one. On the other side of that, you have hydrogen. You can burn it or battery cell it. It can use technologies from both combustion engines and EV's with very limited engineering to meet the gap. Hydrogen Fuel cells are more efficient than combustion vehicles now even after production and distribution of hydrogen. While hydrogen is not as efficient as a battery operated EV it is more available and the byproduct of hydrogen is water. The only issue with Hydrogen is the lack of infrastructure. EV's piggyback off of the Electric grid so much of what they need is already there. However, there is much more to developing a Hydrogen network which can also piggyback off the grid, but there is storage and delivery and in some cases filtration depending on the source of H2O that they use. Nuclear is quite a ways off just because of restrictions involving it. Nuclear will not likely end up as a domestic fuel source in our lifetimes but would be used to bolster the demands of our domestic energy demands.

I have ran my truck on hydrogen and gas together. It changed my gas mileage from almost 10 mpg to almost 12 mpg. That doesn't sound like much. I understand that. I will let a mathematician fortune out the percentage of increase. Before you do this, be absolutely sure about the safety of using hydrogen and safety of hydrogen itself. As a help to anyone wanting to try hydrogen, DO NOT try to compress it and store it. Together with oxygen, hydrogen is explosive. Even if you compress the mixture into an oxygen tank, IT WILL EXPLODE. You have to have a very efficient separator to get the oxygen out of hydrogen. This makes hydrogen flammable, about like gasoline only it has more energy per cubic foot than gasoline. Hydrogen burns faster than gasoline. So as you introduce hydrogen and oxygen into any fossil fuel engine, you can feel a tiny amount of power increase. Therefore you must be careful as to how much you add. It can increase engine wear if you don't know what you are doing. So be careful out there. Learn about hydrogen safety and apply what you learned. Most og you will be okay if you do this.

It is hard to imagine that the problem of 'immediate obsolescence' will not create an enormous and legitimate disincentive to switch now. It seems the smart thing to do would be to wait ten years. But how does that notion interface with our dire climate change timeline? It would be very useful to know what the exact points of obsolescence would be. Could current charging stations be used with the new technology, for example? Could your 'old' EV battery be replaced with a 'new' graphene one without replacing the entire vehicle? Bringing such answers to common knowledge does seem as important as it could be, and therefore pressure against these questions being premature seems appropriate.

My question is can we catch the water generated from the hydrogen burn and make more hydrogen from it?

[@mark8yes329]

The hydrogen systems used on buses don't work properly in the northern US states in the winter. The cold temps prevent the systems from operating well enough to generate enough hydrogen. The Chicago Transat Authority were give a couple of hydrogen buses to try out but it was winter and they took them out of service after a few weeks. They shipped the buses to Toronto with the CTA name still on the buses. Remember that heat is energy and the better fuel is propane because it's 37 percent hydrogen and burns hot and very clean and is 104 octane. Propane is found naturally underground mixed with other games such as butane and methane which is natural gas. Only about 30 percent of propane is sourced by cracking a barrel of oil in the refinery process. LPG propane is the world's most popular alternative fuel for cars and trucks.

[@TheFlow2006]

LPG is indeed a very good alternative for cars, but if you want to get carbon neutral you have to use stuff like batteries or hydrogen and by both it depends on how they are produced on how neutral they get

Renewable natural gas is the answer to achieving lowest carbon emissions. If I were to buy a hydrogen fuel cell truck for use in the long haul how will I compete with trucks running on RNG? Hyliions systems can get net zero carbon emissions today and a 1000 mile range, 75 miles fully electric. Hypertruck ERX with RNG is the game changer and the infrastructure is there now.

Remember the Hindenburg, hydrogen is extremely flammable and not as safe as gasoline or diesel

[@ForzaJersey]

The skin of the Hindenburg was made of solid rocket fuel. It ignited due to electrostatic fluxes from a nearby thunderstorm. The hydrogen in the Hindenburg burned for mere seconds, with most hydrogen dispursing in the atmosphere. If the Hindenburg had safe materials, the disaster would have required a direct lightning strike or an external ignition source. Hydrogen is as safe as gasoline when stored correctly. In many ways its actually safer than gasoline.

Hydrogen can also be produced by sending a certain frequency of radio waves through water. John Kanzius proved it.

[@certified_boogeyman]

@@rickrutledge9363 wind and solar are not immediate and they're not clean Solar panels are made of coal. The facilities that build solar panels and wind turbines operate on "fossil" fuels (fossil is in quotes because oil doesn't come from decaying fossils). My cousin works in the wind industry and those turbines require constant maintenance. Solar panels become cloudy and lose potential over time. The amount of electricity we get from wind and solar is 12% combined. And they still require gas and coal to run their operations! Green energy is a facade. If the government really cared about the environment they'd promote and subsidize regular Americans gardening organically and organic urban farming. But they don't really want that. They just want to funnel tax dollars into these private sectors at the behest of the lobbyists.

(price of the water - damn site cheaper than gas!) Burns clean - no fuel cell required!! Only inconvenience have to refuel at home - long trips extra tanks.
