USING HYDROGEN ENERGY TO ENHANCE
THE PROSPECTS OF RENEWABLE ENERGY
The prospects for renewable energy are enhanced through the use of
hydrogen energy, i.e. using hydrogen as an energy carrier. As easily
accessible fossil fuel supplies become scarcer and environmental con-
cerns increase, hydrogen is likely to become an increasingly important
chemical energy carrier. As the world’s energy sources become less fossil
fuel-based, hydrogen and electricity are expected to be the two domi-
nant energy carriers for the provision of end-use services, in a hydrogen
economy. Thus, hydrogen energy systems allowgreater use of renewable
energy resources. There are many commercial processes for producing
hydrogen from fossil fuel and non-fossil fuel sources (including renew-
ables). Technologies for the storage and distribution of hydrogen exist.
Technologies are developing for utilizing hydrogen as an energy carrier,
especially in transportation. The technologies needed for hydrogen ener-
gy systems are undergoing much research and development. In this pre-
sentation, the role of hydrogen as an energy carrier and hydrogen energy
systems and their economics are described.
