#2/ Hydrogen as Car Fuel Has Been Too Costly
One of the hallmarks to energy development and application has always been the entrepreneurial factor. New approaches have always held the prospect of a breakthrough that would revolutionize how we live our lives.
Another matter I have been particularly vocal on has been the advancing energy balance. Here, the crucial issue has been the ability to use existing and expanding energy sources in an interchangeable matrix to improve both availability and efficiency.
In short, this emerging new energy balance consists of the ability to use separate energy sources in a seamless network to replace, augment, and serve as backup for each other. While we have gone far in some respects – combining traditional and renewable energy sources in the generation of electricity, for example – transport has been the stumbling block.
We seem to remain constricted to either select cars run entirely by electricity, oil products, or some hybrid combination of both. Occasionally, the potential for hydrogen as a viable fuel has been advanced.
Yet cost factors, especially in the transport and delivery of the hydrogen fuel itself, have suggested it’s not efficient enough to warrant serious consideration.
Here is where a possible bridge between pure and applied science may be intervening. Word coming from the UK of precisely the kind of interaction among energy types I’ve been talking about may prompt a reconsideration of hydrogen’s role…
