Project Description
| Type of Project: |
Model |
| Category: |
Hydrogen Fuel Pathways |
| Objectives: |
Assess the costs and other tradeoffs associated with generating hydrogen from water with nuclear or renewable electricity, or by stripping it from fossil fuels; Assess the costs and tradeoffs of direct combustion of hydrogen compared to its use in fuel cells; Explore the tradeoffs associated with onboard conversion of fossil fuel to hydrogen versus centralized hydrogen generation and transportation/storage to refueling stations; Project how alternative hydrogen scenarios will affect carbon and other environmental effluents and U.S. oil import requirements |
| Outputs: |
Delivered hydrogen costs (cost per gallon of gas equivalent); key environmental effluents (carbon); end-user costs (cost per vehicle mile driven). |
