Transition to Hydrogen Transportation Fuel
Project Summary
| Full Title: |
A Smooth Transition to Hydrogen Transportation Fuel |
| Project ID: |
87 |
| Principal Investigator: |
Gene Berry |
| Brief Description: |
This project contrasts the options of decentralized production using the existing energy distribution network, and centralized production of hydrogen with a large-scale infrastructure. |
| Keywords: |
Infrastructure; costs; hydrogen production |
Purpose
The case for hydrogen-powered transportation requires an assessment of present and prospective methods for producing, storing, and delivering hydrogen. This project examines one potential pathway: on-site production of hydrogen to fuel light-duty vehicles.
