Hydrogen Fuel Disadvantages
The Disadvantages of Hydrogen Energy
In today's discussion of hydrogen energy, although it has its own advantages, it also has various drawbacks.
First, it is difficult and expensive to produce. To obtain hydrogen, it is often necessary to electrolyze water or extract it from fossil fuels. Electrolyzed water requires a large amount of electricity. If this electricity is obtained from traditional thermal power, it will not only reduce carbon emissions, but also increase energy consumption. Extraction from fossil fuels, although relatively skilled in technology, has not lost its dependence on traditional energy sources, and the process is also polluting. It does not meet the original intention of clean energy, and the cost is high. It is difficult to compete with traditional energy sources in the market.
Second, storage is difficult. Hydrogen is lively in nature, and its density is very small. To store enough hydrogen, high-pressure vessels or low-temperature liquefaction are required. High-pressure hydrogen storage requires extremely high material and safety requirements for the container. If you are not careful, there will be a risk of explosion. Low-temperature liquefaction requires an extremely low temperature environment, energy consumption is huge, and maintaining this low temperature condition is also difficult, resulting in high storage costs and limiting its wide application.
Third, transportation is inconvenient. Due to the difficulty of storage, transportation is also a shackle. High-pressure gaseous hydrogen transportation requires special pipelines and vehicles, and the construction and operation costs are high. Although the density of liquid hydrogen transportation increases, the problem of maintaining low temperature still exists, and the long-distance transportation loss is quite large, making it difficult to efficiently distribute hydrogen energy to users.
Fourth, there is a lack of infrastructure. To make hydrogen energy universal, infrastructure such as hydrogen refueling stations is indispensable. However, today, the number of hydrogen refueling stations is scarce, and the construction of hydrogen refueling stations requires huge funds and long cycles, and the technology is complex. From site selection to operation, it is facing many difficulties. Without perfect infrastructure, applications such as hydrogen vehicles will be difficult to become a climate, and it will be difficult for the public to favor.
To sum up, although hydrogen energy has potential, its drawbacks in production, storage, transportation and infrastructure make the road to promotion full of thorns. To become a mainstream energy source, many difficulties need to be overcome, and it will take time.
