Why to select hydrogen as a potential transportation fuel?

Abstract

Hydrogen is a transportation fuel that will play a major role in the transition toward a hydrogen-based energy system. When combined with the right source of energy, the hydrogen energy system has the highest potential efficiencies and lowest potential emissions of any transportation sector. The aim of this paper is to highlight some of the transportation technology research and development work from the past twenty years. These current efforts are divided into the improvement of several parts: motivity factor, versatility, utilization efficiency, safety and pollution reduction. Environmental and economic assessments of the entire hydrogen supply chain, including fuel cell end-use, are being carried out by researchers around the world. Analyses show that the hydrogen energy system will likely be both economically competitive and environmentally friendly. Indeed, the transition of the transportation sector to the use of hydrogen fuel will represent one of the biggest steps toward pollution reduction.

Hidrojen neden potansiyel bir ulaşım yakıtı olarak seçilmelidir?

Öz

Hidrojen, hidrojen bazlı enerji sistemine geçişte önemli bir rol oynayacak bir ulaşım yakıtıdır. Doğru enerji kaynağı ile birleştirildiğinde, hidrojen enerji sistemi, herhangi bir ulaşım sektörünün en yüksek potansiyel verimliliğine ve en düşük potansiyel emisyonuna sahiptir. Bu yazının amacı, son yirmi yıldaki bazı ulaşım teknolojisi araştırma ve geliştirme çalışmalarını vurgulamaktır. Bu mevcut çabalar çeşitli bölümlerin iyileştirilmesine ayrılmıştır: motivasyon faktörü, çok yönlülük, kullanım verimliliği, güvenlik ve kirlilik azaltma. Yakıt hücresi son kullanımı da dahil olmak üzere tüm hidrojen tedarik zincirinin çevresel ve ekonomik değerlendirmeleri dünyanın dört bir yanındaki araştırmacılar tarafından gerçekleştirilmektedir. Analizler, hidrojen enerji sisteminin muhtemelen hem ekonomik olarak rekabetçi hem de çevre dostu olacağını gösteriyor. Nitekim, ulaşım sektörünün hidrojen yakıtı kullanımına geçişi, kirliliğin azaltılmasına yönelik en büyük adımlardan birini temsil edecektir.
