Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Analysis: Environmental Impacts of Hydrogen Systems: The development of hydrogen as an energy carrier offers the benefits of increased energy security and reduced environmental emissions compared with the present fossil fuel economy. However, there is not enough information on the potential environmental effects from increased emissions of hydrogen. Further, there is little known about the amount of criteria emissions avoided or gained through the production and use of hydrogen and the impact on the environment. The purpose of this project is to systematically identify and examine possible near and long-term ecological and environmental effects of the production of hydrogen from various energy sources (based on the DOE hydrogen production strategy) and the use of that hydrogen as a transportation fuel and for stationary power. Precise systems-based engineering models of the likely hydrogen and criteria pollutant emissions will be developed and the potential impacts of the different market penetration scenarios will be quantified.
