THE INTEGRATED CONCEPT FOR CARBON FREE POWER 

PURE WATER 

Hydrogen, H2, potentially the fuel of the future for our vehicles, promises zero carbon footprint and no

pollution. We expand that concept to an integrated approach for producing both power and water.

Hydrogen fuel indeed does not pollute. However,energy is expended to produce hydrogen, generatedby water electrolysis, reformed from natural gas, PSA(pressure swing adsorption), or other methods. Thatenergy most likely comes from the combustion ofpetroleum, coal, or natural gas. Environmental andclimatological problems are simply moved to anothervenue, zero CO2 improvement at best. The challengeis to produce hydrogen most efficiently as a system.

Hydrogen for vehicle power must meet DOE’s specification for a 300 miledriving range. To achieve this goal, a storage tank must be pressurized

to 10,000 psi for a reasonable size to fit in the vehicle.

Hydrogen should not be limited to use by vehicles to achieve a reductionin greenhouse gases. Hydrogen is ideal as a storage medium forrenewable energy– a hydrogen “battery” for renewable power ondemand. It can be produced at remote generation sites, preferably fromnuclear, wind, solar, or tidal energy as opposed to fossil sources. Nogreenhouse gases and the hydrogen “battery” can be shipped anywhere.

Key to efficient and cost effective hydrogen fuel is productionat a usable pressure. Current technologies for compressinghydrogen are economically inferior. The H2GoFuel

TM 

process minimizes life cycle compression costs.

H2GoFuelTM

can be compressed to tanks for vehicular use,charged to 10,000 psi at a central location; and distributedfor exchange, similar to propane cylinders.

H2GoFuelTM

can be transported by pipeline, railroad, tankertrucks, and ocean shipping. The process is ideal for pipelinetransmission at 3,000 psi and greater. All modes applyexisting cost-effective technology to distribute hydrogen gas.

Far exceeding its use for powering vehicles, hydrogen fuel, offersthe potential to relieve drought. The H2GoFuel

economically generate high pressure hydrogen at locations nearwater, which can then be sent to areas suffering from watershortage. At the desiredlocation, the H2GoFuel
