Hydrogen economy (Hydrogen as fuel):
(i) The electricity cannot be stored in automobiles. It is not possible to store and transport nuclear energy. Hydrogen is an alternative source of energy and hence called the 'hydrogen economy". Hydrogen has some advantages as fuel.
(ii) Available in abundance in combined form as water.
(iii) On combustion produces H2O. Hence, pollution free.
(iv) H2O2 fuel cells give more power.
(v) Excellent reducing agent. Therefore, it can be used as a substitute of carbon in reduction for processes in industry.
