Hydrogen as an Energy Carrier
From The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), these activities look at hydrogen, its preparation by electrolysis and its potential as a transportable fuel.
In the activities, students:
- Study the properties of hydrogen in order to evaluate it and identify the technological problems that must be overcome to enable its use as a fuel
- Prepare hydrogen by the electrolysis of water and, by considering the reversibility of the process, investigate the potential of hydrogen gas to replace electricity as an energy carrier
- Consider the strengths and limitations of a solar-hydrogen energy economy.
This gives students a greater understanding of the:
- combustion of fuels and combustion products
- properties of hydrogen
- electrolysis of water and the relevance of electrolysis
- energy from renewable sources
- use of fuel cells
