quote:
The economics of hydrogen production depend on the efficiency of the method used. The IS cycle coupled to a modular high temperature reactor is expected to produce hydrogen at $1.50 to $2.00 per kg. The oxygen by-product also has value.[ emphasis added]
comment:
Think of it. A fuel cell can be twice as efficient as a gasoline engine. At two bucks a kilogram, it would be like 1 buck a gallon gas. (A gallon of gas and a kg of hydrogen are equivalent in terms of energy.)
Imagine a scenario that produces no greenhouse gas and is cheaper than gasoline by a factor of 3.
If Sorensen is right, waste is reduced by a magnitude of two, or more. Now, if you were to use existing waste, that could be reduced as well, and the result would be less waste than you already have now.
What's not to like?
