When Will Hydrogen Cars Be Available

When will hydrogen cars be available

In today's world, everyone is looking forward to the wide use of hydrogen cars. However, when will it be available is still a question for everyone.

Hydrogen car owners use hydrogen as a source, with less pollution during travel, which is of great benefit to environmental protection. However, its promotion has also encountered various obstacles.

One is the method of hydrogen production. Today's production of hydrogen consumes more energy and is quite expensive. Or reforming with fossil fuels, although hydrogen can be obtained, it does not get rid of its dependence on traditional energy sources and generates carbon emissions. If you use the method of electrolysis of water, you need a lot of electricity to obtain pure hydrogen, and the source of electricity is also related to environmental protection and cost. If the cost of hydrogen production does not drop, the price of hydrogen vehicles will be high, and it will be difficult for the public to accept.

Second, the difficulty of storing hydrogen. Hydrogen is light and alive, and it is not easy to store. High-pressure hydrogen storage requires special containers to resist high pressure, which increases the cost and weight of the container. Low-temperature liquid hydrogen storage requires an extremely low temperature environment, which requires huge energy consumption to maintain. And the safety of hydrogen storage equipment is also a priority, and a little carelessness may cause danger.

Third, hydrogen refueling facilities are scarce. To make hydrogen vehicles run smoothly, hydrogen refueling stations are essential. However, the number of hydrogen refueling stations is very small at present, and they are mostly built in specific areas. Building hydrogen refueling stations requires huge investment, and involves land, safety and many other approvals, and progress is slow. Without a complete hydrogen refueling network, the travel of hydrogen vehicles will be limited, like a boat without water, it is difficult to drive far.

Although there are various difficulties, scientific researchers and industries have not slack off. In hydrogen production, new technologies have emerged one after another, hoping to find efficient, low-cost and environmentally friendly methods. In the field of hydrogen storage, new materials and new designs continue to emerge, hoping to solve the problem of hydrogen storage. The construction of hydrogen refueling stations is also gradually advancing. With policy support, more stations may be launched.

With time, when the technology is mature, the cost is reduced, and the facilities are complete, hydrogen vehicles may be able to travel in the streets and alleys like ordinary cars. At that time, people asked "when will the hydrogen car be available", and they would definitely get a positive answer. The hydrogen car will also add new colors to travel and environmental protection.
