Information About

Energy Carrier




Hydrogen is a promising energy carrier for use in distributing renewable energy. Electricity is used to produce Hydrogen by Electrolyzing water, which is then used to power a Hydrogen Vehicle . The power is later derived from the hydrogen in the car's fuel cell which recombines hydrogen and oxygen, producing electricity, heat, and water. This principle may be put to use in the production of heat and electricity in households. Currently both hydrogen cars and household generators are in small scale production and use.

Note that Coal , Oil and Natural Gas are energy sources which were extracted from the earth. They already contain stores of energy previously "charged," whereas springs, batteries, hydrogen ''etc.'' typically contain energy derived from a power plant or solar panels.
