Uses
Directly as a fuel
The combustion of hydrogen does not provoke particular problems and produces emissions that are much less polluting than other fuels. Combustion in the air produces water, un-burnt hydrogen and traces of ammonia. Thus, using this gas to supply a household boiler or a car engine, energy would be produced avoiding the emission of toxic substances. For a few years now, hydrogen vehicles have been circulating experimentally. Moreover, any other fuel mixed with hydrogen improves its combustion and efficiency. Therefore, in the United States the use of methane to which hydrogen is added in the tune of 15% of the weight – commercially known as Hythane – is being assessed.
