Hydrogen, a clean energy vector  [ Return towards  Hydrogen energy  ]

 

 

In this context, access to sustainable mobility is a major issue if greenhouse gases and pollution in cities are to be reduced and our dependence on oil-based fuels is to be cut.
Hydrogen, used as an energy vector, is one of the solutions that can be used in the short-term to face up to these challenges.

 

Hydrogen is indeed a promising alternative solution, both at an environmental level and in terms of cost-effectiveness. Used in a fuel cell (link to the website www.axane.com), hydrogen combines with the oxygen in the air to produce electricity while discharging nothing more than water.
Hydrogen can be extracted from a great number of raw materials (natural gas, coal, water + electricity or even biomass etc.,).

 

Although today 95% of hydrogen is produced from natural gas, the multiplicity of sources of production guarantees a security of supply.
Hydrogen therefore has fabulous potential for supplying renewable, clean and silent energy to power the cars of tomorrow.
Air Liquide is able to capitalise on its thorough knowledge of every facet of the hydrogen business as it works to develop the future use of hydrogen as fuel in private cars or in city bus fleets
