2 REACTIONS: ANODE: H 2 (g) -> 2 H + (aq) + 2 e - CATODE: 1/2 O 2 (g) + 2 H + (aq) + 2 e - -> H 2 O(g) SIMPLE ELECTROCHEMICAL REACTION: HYDROGEN + OXYGEN = WATER + ELECTRICITY + HEAT

3 Ratio of hydrogen production and energy produced from HFC: 500W/h to produce 500l/h of hydrogen 500l/h in a HFC to produce 5KW/h (500/5000)*100=10% This means that an HFC generates 10 times more than the energy consumed.

4 Efficiency: 80% HFC 45% Diesel Engines 35% Gasoline Engines

5 ADVANTAGES: Zero emission technology; Low maintance; Reliability; No loss between energy production and consumption; High efficiency Less expensive fuel DISADVANTAGES: High production cost

6 VEHICLES: MOTORBIKES; CARS; AIRCRAFTS;... FLASHLIGHTS: PORTABLE BATTERIES: IT HAS THE SAME APPLICATIONS AS BATTERIES AND COMBUSTION ENGINES

7 Predictions indicate that Hydrogen Fuel Cell vehicles will be commercially available in 2020. Stationary power based on hydrogen fuel cells will be in use before. Companies such as Shell, BP and Johnson Mattheyare are already building infrastructures.

8 PROVIDES HEALTHIER AND CLEANER ALTERNATIVE ENERGY HAS BETTER EFFICIENCY COMPARED TO COMBUSTION ENGINES ADAPTATION TO SEVERAL APPLICATIONS LESS EXPENSIVE IN A LONG TERM INVESTMENT BEFORE WE END OUR DEGREE WE WILL PROBABLY START USING THIS TECHNOLOGY
