Fuel Cells
|
|
|---|---|
The “Fuel Cell” (FC) was originally conceived in 1839. It is normally fuelled with hydrogen (or H2-containing fuel) to produce electricity. Together, the FC and fuel tank can be thought of as a really good battery. Produced centrally or locally from renewable energy sources, H2 could be made widely available around the world, as opposed to oil or natural gas which must be transported to areas where their is no naturally occurring supply. There is also huge potential to produce it in a variety of sustainable ways (including from renewable energy or by waste-eating, H2-emitting micro organisms, the list goes on), as well as from both fossil and bio-based hydrocarbons, using carbon capture and sequestration technologies. The introduction of hydrogen fuelled vehicles is taking place in selected demonstration cities worldwide, with a view to achieving full commercialisation in the long term hydrogencan be produced and distributed sustainably and fuel cell and electric motor components can be recycled | |
