no global warming gases
When hydrogen is obtained from renewable energy sources, no global warming gases are emitted. Hydrogen fuel cell systems store intermittent solar and wind power so there is no need for back -up generators powered by fossil fuels.
Hydrogen can also be obtained from wave, tidal, biomass or waste energy sources.
clean, quiet operation
The only emission from hydrogen fuel cells powered by renewable energy is pure water.
Fuel cells can generate electricity quietly and efficiently on the site where it is needed. There will be no toxic emissions if electricity is generated in schools, hospitals, homes and factories.
security of supply
When energy conversion technologies such as hydrogen fuel cell systems are made available, countries around the world will be able to tap into their own virtually unlimited renewable energy resources.
economic considerations
One of the main causes of third world deficits is the cost of importing fossil fuels. Hydrogen can be obtained from using the indigenous resources of sun, wind, wave, waste, biomass or tidal power. A hydrogen fuel cell system is of modular construction so it can be set up and added to as required. |
