The Parallel of Significance:-
A parallel of significance has been reached between, the importance of Hydrogen in its nuclear sense as in our stars, with hydrogen in its humble chemical sense here on Earth. - © Stephen V Zorbas - 1995
Hydrogen and the Hydrogen Economy have been mentioned now for many years, and you may agree or disagree with hydrogen being selected as our future "forever" fuel of the twenty first(21st) century. The International Partnership for the Hydrogen Economy (IPHE), has many nations involved seeking hydrogen to be as available as petrol by year 2020.Most agree that hydrogen will in fact become a reality and its only a question of time and timing. Before making your mind up please download the following report and learn the fundamentals about hydrogen. Twenty Hydrogen Myths ( Physicist A.Lovins) http://www.rmi.org/images/other/Energy/E03-05_20HydrogenMyths.pdf(350KB).
As per the report below the near price per kg of hydrogen for fuel cell powered vehicles is US$4-$6(A$4.30-$6.45 at 28/02/2008) : One(1) kg of Hydrogen in energy is ~= one(1) US gal (petrol) = 3.785 L : This equates to A$1.13 / L - A$1.69 / L BUT, as hydrogen in a hydrogen fuel cell is twice as efficient as petrol in a combustion engine car, on a $ per kilometre basis the price per kg & L is halved from A$1.13 / L - A$1.69 / L to A$.56 / L - A$.845 / L. What this now means on a cost basis is that hydrogen is now cost competitive with petrol. In Sydney Australia on the 28/02/2008 the price of petrol was A$1.45 / L Hydrogen Infrastructure Assessment-Download(1.6meg.)http://www.h2andyou.org/pdf/10Things.pdf Sustainable Communities Australia
