Hydrogen fuel refers to hydrogen gas that is used as an energy source for fuel cells or combustion engines. It is a clean-burning fuel that produces water vapor as a primary byproduct, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels. Hydrogen can be produced through various methods, including electrolysis of water, reforming natural gas, and biomass gasification.
In fuel cells, hydrogen reacts with oxygen to produce electricity, heat, and water, offering a highly efficient energy conversion process. Hydrogen fuel can be stored and transported as a gas or in liquid form, and it can be used in a variety of applications, including transportation (such as hydrogen fuel cell vehicles), stationary power generation, and industrial processes.
The use of hydrogen as a fuel source is seen as a key component in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and transitioning to a sustainable energy system, although challenges remain in production, storage, infrastructure, and cost.
The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) has recently released its much-anticipated Draft Environmental Impact Review (EIR) concerning the modifications proposed for the Scattergood gas facility. This plan…
