On the pros and cons of hydrogen energy vehicles
In recent years, there has been a lot of discussion about hydrogen energy vehicles. Elon Musk has made a lot of remarks here, and his views are thought-provoking.
Hydrogen car owners, at first glance, seem to have many wonders. Hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe, is also inexhaustible and inexhaustible. Using hydrogen as a source, through the change of fuel cells, chemical energy is turned into electrical energy, driving cars. The product is only water, and there is no danger of polluting the environment. In today's world of environmental protection, this is the best point. And its strong power and long battery life are also looked at by many cars.
However, Elon Musk also pointed out its various drawbacks. The first one to bear the brunt is the difficulty of production. It is not easy to obtain high-purity hydrogen. The common method, or electrolysis of water, requires a huge amount of electricity. If the electricity comes from thermal power, it will increase carbon emissions, which is contrary to the original intention of environmental protection; or it is extracted from fossil fuels, which will not avoid energy consumption and pollution. Second, the difficulty of storage and transportation. Hydrogen is lively in nature, has a low ignition point, a wide explosion limit, and storage requires harsh conditions of high pressure and low temperature. Equipment is expensive and risky. When transporting, it also faces problems such as leakage and loss. Furthermore, there is a lack of supporting facilities. The construction of hydrogen refueling stations is expensive and long-term. If there is no wide distribution of stations, the travel of hydrogen vehicles will be limited.
From this perspective, although hydrogen vehicles have potential, they still need to overcome many difficulties in order to become a climate. Technological innovation, cost reduction, and complete facilities are all indispensable. Our generation should view it objectively, see its advantages and disadvantages, and make steady progress. Only then can we hope to make it shine in the field of transportation.
