    Hydrogen has the highest combustion energy and only produces water as a byproduct, making it a promising clean energy source. It can be used to provide decentralized power and replace petroleum-based vehicles. The dominant method for hydrogen production is steam reforming of natural gas, but electrolysis of water is also used. Hydrogen can be stored as compressed gas, in liquid form, or chemically in hydrides. Fuel cells generate electricity through chemical reactions between hydrogen and oxygen without combustion.

    INTRODUCTION
    Hydrogen is the simplest and most abundant element in
    the universe

    Hydrogen has the highest combustion energy release per


    unit of weight of any commonly occurring material.

    On combustion of hydrogen the only by-product is heat


    and water. 2

    IMPORTANCE OF HYDROGEN FUEL


    The Goal of Hydrogen Fuel is to reduce petroleum use, Hydrogen has significant potential as a clean energy
    reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and reduce air pollution.

    source for broad range of applications including power production and transportation

    Large areas in the country do not have access to electricity

    which can be provided decentralized power based on hydrogen energy.

    Hydrogen and fuel cells vehicles can progressively


    replace petroleum based vehicles.

    Clean engine exhaust is probably the best of all


    the advantages.

    Engines using hydrogen will last much longer and start


    faster in any weather.

    HYDROGEN FUEL CYCLE

    HYDROGEN PRODUCTION
    METHOD OF PRODUCTION :
    Hydrogen production is the family of industrial methods for generating hydrogen. Currently the dominant technology for direct production is steam reforming from hydrocarbons.

    Steam reforming : Fossil fuels are the dominant

    source of industrial hydrogen. Hydrogen can be generated from natural gas with approximately 80% efficiency, or from other hydrocarbons to a varying degree of efficiency. Specifically, bulk hydrogen is usually produced by the steam reforming of methane or natural gas.

    Electrolysis of water :

    Approximately 5% of industrial hydrogen is produced by electrolysis. Two types of cells are mainly used, solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOEC's) and alkaline electrolysis cells (AEC's) . These cells optimally operate at high concentrations electrolyte (KOH or potassium carbonate) and at high temperatures, often near 200 C.

    PROCESS OF ELECTROLYSIS :

    STORAGE OF HYDROGEN

    Hydrogen can be stored in the form of Hydrides Compressed gas storage. Underground storage. Liquid storage.

    APPLICATION OF HYDROGEN AS FUEL


    IN CI ENGINES: The internal combustion engine is an engine in which
    the combustion of a fuel (normally a fossil fuel) occurs with an oxidizer (usually air) in a combustion chamber.

    The hydrogen internal combustion car is a slightly modified version of the traditional gasoline internal combustion engine car.

    These hydrogen engines burn fuel in the same manner that


    gasoline engines do.

    SAFETY AND PREVENTIVE MEASURES

    FLASHBACK ARRESTOR

    A flashback arrestor or flame arrestor is a device used to stop the flame from burning back up into the equipment and causing damage or explosions.

    This car uses hydrogen as fuel.

    FUEL CELL
    A fuel cell is a device that converts the chemical energy from
    a fuel into electricity through a chemical reaction with oxygen or another oxidizing agent.

    Fuel cells are different from batteries in that they require a


    constant source of fuel and oxygen to run, but they can produce electricity continually for as long as these inputs are supplied.

    The Fuel cell consist of an anode (negative side),

    a cathode (positive side) and an electrolyte that allows charges to move between the two sides of the fuel cell. Electrons are drawn from the anode to the cathode through an external circuit, producing direct current electricity
