Environmental Benefits

The advantages of the hydrogen economy include:

1. The Hydrogen Economy infrastructure is less expensive to create than oil refineries, coal fired power plants or nuclear power plants

• Siting a hydrogen facility geographically is a non-issue

2. The elimination of pollution caused by fossil fuels

• When hydrogen is used in an ICE engine to create power, it is a completely clean technology

3. The elimination of greenhouse gases

• If the hydrogen comes from the electrolysis of water through wind and solar, then hydrogen adds no greenhouse gases to the environment

4. The elimination of economic dependence

• The near term reduction and long term elimination of oil means no dependence on the Middle East and its oil reserves and a resultant strengthening of our national security
