I am just waiting for the next car driven on hydrogen from water…

“Clearly, hydrogen is less of a pollutant in the air because it emits little tail pipe pollution.”

That is true only if you manage to forget the production. In that case electricity is even more green I guess!

Until more energy is generated by the H2 consumer than was required to make that volume of H2 it is a loser – attractive but a loser.

There is a real possibility that H2 will never be widely used as a fuel just for that reason. Small scale does not count for much – it needs to be large scale commercial.

Having said that I would love to see the method found – H2 is relatively safe and easy to handle as well as being clean.

At the end of the day remember Hydrogen is a carrier of energy not a source. You always get less out than you put in.

I agree with the views of Dr Dupont. More research is necessary to build hydrogen economy. I wish all the best to SUPERGEN sustainable Hydrogen Delivery and hope they come out with radical new products.

This statement needs correction: “Clearly, hydrogen is less of a pollutant in the air because it emits little tail pipe pollution.” Hydrogen as a fuel emits no pollution, just water vapor. There may be other impurities in the fuel, which could result in pollution, but hydrogen alone is not responsible.
