Hydrogen as a fuel really worth it?


Is hydrogen good to be used in cars? How much of traveling can a car do with medium sized balloon filled with hydrogen? Is it worth it?



Answer



Hydrogen escapes from vessels more readily than just about any other gas. All of the schemes to store hydrogen seem unwieldy. High pressure, low temperature, or hydrides. I've seen NH3-BH3 proposed as a way to store hydrogen. A good way to store hydrogen might be methanol.


Generating the hydrogen takes energy in the first place which factors in to the question of whether or not it is worth it.
