What difficult-to-replace industrial uses of natural gas cannot be replaced with renewable hydrogen?

by admin | Mar 29, 2021 | Potential Applications

There may be industrial uses of natural gas where the carbon content of the gas is chemically important to the process. However, since hydrogen can be combined with carbon dioxide to make synthetic natural gas, this is not seen to be an...

What current fossil-sourced fuels could be replaced with drop-in replacement fuels derived from renewable hydrogen?

by admin | Mar 29, 2021 | Potential Applications

Virtually any fossil fuel can be synthesized from hydrogen plus a source of...

Does hydrogen offer a possible pathway to fossil-free drop-in replacement fuels for our current fleet of vehicles and industrial plants?

by admin | Mar 28, 2021 | Potential Applications

Hydrogen fuel cell systems can be a drop-in solution to battery electric vehicles (there is a business in converting battery forklifts and battery drones to hydrogen). Other than those, with the possible exception of diesel engines, hydrogen is generally not a drop-in...

Can existing internal combustion engines be modified to run on hydrogen?

by admin | Mar 28, 2021 | Potential Applications

Diesel engines can co-fire hydrogen up to about 30% (by volume) with little modification. Hydrogen is also a feedstock to making renewable diesel, a fuel that is 100% compatible with diesel engines without modification. Modified diesel engines may be able to run on...

What current uses of fossil fuels can hydrogen, even in theory, not replace?

by admin | Mar 28, 2021 | Potential Applications

Although hydrogen is not a 100% interchangeable replacement for any fossil fuel, it can be used in conjunction with fossil fuels in some cases (e.g., natural gas pipelines, gas turbine co-firing, and diesel engine injection) to reduce their carbon content. It can also...
