Unlike petrol or marine diesel, burning hydrogen does not, in itself, produce any harmful by-products. Now, as we drive through Orkney’s capital of Kirkwall, hydrogen combines with oxygen inside the van to produce an electrical reaction that powers the engine. The only tailgate emission is pure water. In other words, there’s no air pollution and no greenhouse gas emissions (such as carbon dioxide) that contribute to global warming. Beyond cars, hydrogen could be used to heat buildings, power electrical facilities, propel trains, ferries and cargo ships and for industrial processes.Another benefit of hydrogen? If you have too much, you can store and transport it at a large scale with relative ease. As one Bloomberg New Energy Finance consultant wrote in a column published last year, hydrogen “is one of the most promising ways of dealing with longer-term storage, beyond the minutes, hours or days that could be met by batteries”.
与汽油或者海运柴油不同,燃烧氢气这一过程本身并不会产生任何的有害副产物。此时,就在我们开车穿过奥克尼群岛的首府柯克沃尔(Kirkwall)时,氢气正与车里的氧气结合生成电力,进而驱动汽车引擎。唯一排放出的尾气就是纯水。换句话说,这并不会污染空气,也并不会排放造成全球变暖的(二氧化碳等)温室气体。氢能除了能驱动汽车,还能为建筑供暖,生产电力,为火车、轮渡、货船的运行提供驱动能源,并能够用于工业生产。氢能的另一个好处是?如果你有太多的氢能,可以储存起来,并用相对较简单的方法进行大容量运输。就像彭博新能源金融(Bloomberg New Energy Finance)顾问去年在一篇专栏文章里写的那样,氢“是世界上最具有前景的能长期储存的能量之一,其储存时间超越了电池以分钟、小时或天数计的存储时限。”
