Zero Emission Hydrogen from Zero Emission Energy

Hydrogen technology would be easiest on our climate with better ways to produce it without carbon emissions. The Glenn Research Center is moving in that direction.

Discovery News reports:

A NASA-backed group is designing a wind- and sun-powered fueling system for city buses -- and possibly other machines -- that run on hydrogen. The demonstration is intended to not only showcase a fuel with zero carbon emissions, but to produce the hydrogen in similar fashion.

The project, spearheaded by NASA's Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio, would use power produced by a windmill and solar energy cells to run a machine called an electrolyzer that splits water molecules into its base elements of hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen, in turn, would be used as fuel for specially-equipped buses. See full article:
