The Need for the Hydrogen Economy:

  • Energy is the life-blood of our global economy and the mainstay of our standard of living.
  • Growing dependence on petroleum threatens worldwide economic growth.
  • Clean forms of energy are needed to support sustainable global economic growth while mitigating impacts on air quality and the potential effects of greenhouse gas emissions.

U.S. Hydrogen Program Path:

  • Critical Path Technology Barriers:
    • Hydrogen Storage (>300-mile range)
    • Fuel Cell Cost ($30 per kW)
    • Hydrogen Cost ($2.00 – 3.00 per gge)
  • Economic/Institutional Barriers:
    • Codes and Standards (Safety, and Global Competitiveness)
    • Hydrogen Delivery (Investment for new Distribution Infrastructure)
    • Education
