Topic 6.11: Hydrogen Fuel Cell
Learning Objective: ENG-3.P
Describe the use of hydrogen fuel cells in power generation.
Essential Knowledge: ENG-3.P.1
Hydrogen fuel cells are an alternate to nonrenewable fuel sources. They use hydrogen as fuel, combining the hydrogen and oxygen in the air to form water and release energy (electricity) in the process. Water is the product (emission) of a fuel cell.
Learning Objective: ENG-3.Q
Describe the effects of the use of hydrogen fuel cells in power generation on the environment.
Essential Knowledge: ENG-3.Q.1
Hydrogen fuel cells have low environmental impact and produce no carbon dioxide when the hydrogen is produced from water. However, the technology is expensive and energy is still needed to create the hydrogen gas used in the fuel cell.
