Hydrogen and Greenhouse Gases
"On the Relationship between Hydrogen and Greenhouse Gases"
When talking about energy sources in the world, hydrogen and greenhouse gases are often discussed. Hydrogen is known as a clean energy source that everyone expects. However, it is necessary to investigate its relationship with greenhouse gases.
Hydrogen is produced in different ways. If hydrogen is obtained by reforming fossil fuels, in the process, more greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide escape. This is because fossil fuels contain carbon, which is decomposed by reaction, and carbon is mostly entered into the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide, which increases the greenhouse effect.
However, if hydrogen is produced by hydrolysis, and the electricity used is derived from renewable energy sources, such as sunlight, wind power, and hydropower, the process produces little greenhouse gas. When generating electricity from renewable energy sources, fossil fuels are not burned, and there is no carbon emission. Therefore, the path of electrolysis of water to obtain hydrogen is expected to be a clean energy choice.
As for the application of hydrogen, it is also related to the increase or decrease of greenhouse gases. In fuel cell vehicles, hydrogen and oxygen react to generate electricity, and the product is only water, with no greenhouse gas emissions. This is a world of difference compared to traditional fuel vehicles, which are powered by burning fossil fuels and emit a lot of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide along the way.
However, in the hydrogen supply chain, storage and transportation links cannot be ignored. If the technology of this process is not perfect, hydrogen leakage will also have potential effects. Although hydrogen is not a traditional greenhouse gas, it can affect the chemical processes of other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and indirectly contribute to the greenhouse effect.
In summary, the relationship between hydrogen and greenhouse gases cannot be hidden. Its production, application, storage and transportation all affect the amount of greenhouse gases. To make hydrogen a truly clean energy, it is necessary to study technologies in all aspects to reduce the negative effects of greenhouse gases in order to obtain long-term benefits.
