Why is hydrogen an efficient fuel for transportation such as fuel cell vehicles?
Hydrogen has the highest combustion energy per pound relative to any other fuel, meaning it is more efficient on a weight basis than fuels used currently. Hydrogen offers 2-3 times more energy than most other common fuels. It combines readily with oxygen, releasing considerable energy as heat.
My process requires high pressure hydrogen, what's the most efficient method of supply?
I'm evaluating some changes to our process that require hydrogen. How can Air Products help me understand the potential effects?
