Increase your H2IQ! What is a fuel cell?
Takes hydrogen in and puts electricity and water vapor out
Produces electricity without combustion
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY OFFICE OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY & RENEWABLE ENERGY FUEL CELL TECHNOLOGIES OFFICE 2 Fuel cells are more energy efficient
Twice as efficient as a gasoline car and water out of tailpipe
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY OFFICE OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY & RENEWABLE ENERGY FUEL CELL TECHNOLOGIES OFFICE 3 What is hydrogen?
Lightest of all gases and a versatile, clean and flexible energy carrier
Produced from diverse domestic resources and used in many applications
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY OFFICE OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY & RENEWABLE ENERGY FUEL CELL TECHNOLOGIES OFFICE 4 Hydrogen’s energy content High energy by mass, low energy by volume
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY OFFICE OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY & RENEWABLE ENERGY FUEL CELL TECHNOLOGIES OFFICE 5 Why hydrogen and fuel cells? Efficient Uses domestic fuels
Internal combustion . Natural gas engine in a car 20%–30% . Renewable sources (wind, solar, biomass, etc.) Fuel cell in a car 60% . Nuclear . Coal Efficiency Convenient Quiet Clean
Refuels in minutes No noise in operation Zero tailpipe emissions Versatile and easily scalable
Transportation Stationary

miles X gallon = 300 miles 20 gallon 15 tank
dollars gallons X = 15 4 gallon $60
Gasoline Car Note: Illustrative example, does not reflect current gasoline prices
miles kg (gge) = 300 miles 60 kg (gge) X 5 tank
kg dollars 5 tank X 10 kg (gge) = $50 Fuel Cell Car gge: gallon of gasoline equivalent Note: 1 kg of hydrogen has the same amount of energy as 1 gallon of gasoline
