Sažetak
Hydrogen is a clean, efficient, and versatile energy carrier, which together with electricity, may satisfy all the energy needs and form an energy system that would be permanent and independent of energy sources. It has unique characteristics that make it an ideal energy carrier. These include the fact that: (1) it can be produced from and converted into electricity at relatively high efficiencies ; (2) its raw material for production is water, which is available in abundance ; (3) it is a completely renewable fuel ; (4) it can be stored in gaseous form (convenient for large scale storage), in liquid form (convenient for air and space transportation), or in the form of metal hydrides (convenient for surface vehicles and other relatively small scale storage requirements) ; (5) it can be transported over large distances through pipelines or via tankers ; (6) it can be converted into other forms of energy in more ways and more efficiently than any other fuel (such as catalytic combustion, electro-chemical conversion, and hydriding) ; (7) it is environmentally compatible since its production, storage, transportation, and end use do not produce any pollutants (except for small amounts of nitrogen oxides), greenhouse gases, or any other harmful effects on the environment.
