  2. The Research

  3. Scientist • Scientists have also discovered that some algae and bacteria produce hydrogen under certain conditions, using sunlight as their energy source. • Experiments are underway to find ways to induce these microbes to produce hydrogen efficiently.

  4. Scientist • A hydrogen fuel cell generates electricity through an electrochemical reaction using hydrogen and oxygen. • the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT 2005) and the Advanced Energy Initiative of 2006, aims to develop hydrogen, fuel cell and infrastructure technologies to make fuel-cell vehicles practical and cost-effective by 2020. • The United States has dedicated more than one billion dollars to fuel cell research and development so far.

  5. Enviromental impact

  6. Enviromentalist • Hydrogen fuel cells are very efficient and produce only water as a by-product, but they are expensive to build. • An engine converted to burn pure hydrogen produces only water and minor amounts of NOX as exhaust. • Adding just five percent hydrogen to gasoline can significantly lower emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx), which contribute to ground-level ozone pollution.

  7. enviromentalist • It does not release harmful carbon dioxide that is detrimental to our atmosphere. • It is a clean fuel that can be used in places where it’s hard to use electricity. Sending electricity a long way costs four times as much as shipping hydrogen by pipeline.

  9. Economic Impact

  10. economist • Hydrogen is expensive to produce and store. Transition from fossil fuels to hydrogen will be expensive as well • Investments in Hydrogen fuel cell research • Hydrogen production and distribution should provide new employment opportunities

  11. Social Impact

  12. Socialist • Used ever since the 1970s, named by a scientist named Lavoisier in 1783 • Used in California as test fuel cell cars • Used as space shuttle fuel (liquid hydrogen cells) • Hydrogen fuel cells power the shuttle’s electrical systems, producing pure water, which is used by the crew as drinking water.

  13. socialist • Only utilized in California, Louisiana and Texas • Means of transportation both public and private. Clean fuel, no pollution, no emission Hydrogen fueling station at California Fuel Cell Partnership
