HYDROGEN AS A VEHICLE FUEL

Journal Title: Mobility and Vehicle Mechanics - Year 2018, Vol 44, Issue 2

Abstract

Limited oil reserves and the ecological consequences of its use in motor vehicles impose an increasing need for alternative energy and drives. The use of hydrogen as the fuel of the future is one of the solutions whose commercialization has begun in the past few years. Although its use has no impact on the environment, the production process, which is still expensive, does. Transport and storage of hydrogen, as well as advanced, but expensive technologies for its use, also present additional challenges, which are examined by the authors of this review paper through few topics. The properties of hydrogen, the way it is obtained, stored and transported are presented. Particular attention is paid to the method of obtaining the propulsion energy by combustion or by using different types of fuel cells. The paper also covers some examples of vehicles powered by hydrogen.
