Hydrogen Cost vs Gasoline
In today's world, there are many opinions on energy, and the price of hydrogen and gasoline is particularly eye-catching. Hydrogen is a new source of hope, clean and abundant; gasoline is a long-term resource, but its pollution is heavy, and its reserves are gradually decreasing.
The cost of hydrogen, its production, storage and transportation are all expensive. The method of production requires high electricity consumption for electrolysis of water, and the risk of carbon emission for steam reforming; storage requires high pressure and low temperature techniques, and the equipment is fine and expensive; the road of transportation, pipeline laying or vehicle transportation are difficult. Therefore, the cost of hydrogen remains high.
Looking at gasoline, after years, the technology of refining, storage and transportation is familiar, and its cost control has been determined. Although the price fluctuates due to the scarcity of resources, the price of hydrogen is still easy for everyone.
However, the speed of the world is changing, and the technology is changing day by day. The advance of hydrogen technology may make the cost drop sharply. In the future, if the production of hydrogen is efficient and cheap, and the storage and transportation are convenient and safe, it may be reversed compared with gasoline. At that time, hydrogen may be the mainstream of energy, leading the world's new journey, which is of great benefit to environmental protection and economy. We should wait and see, and hope that the new energy situation will benefit all countries.
