Hydrogen for vehicles: advantages and challengesHydrogen for vehicles: advantages and challenges
1.The use of hydrogen proposes unique possibilities to have environmentally friendly energy systems with zero emission of climate changes inducing pollutants.
2.Unfortunately most of the systems have one of the main drawbacks: it is impossible to store hydrogen for the long time in technologically and economically reasonable way.
3.Hydrogen energy systems potentially can change drastically in the future. It is mainly related to the so called hydrolytic approach to hydrogen production when needed. It can lead to elimination of hydrogen storage and essential technological simplifications.

2.2. We developed and patented new technologies for metal hydrides We developed and patented new technologies for metal hydrides synthesis and hydrogen production synthesis and hydrogen production when when needed. These needed. These technologies hatechnologies haveve clear technological interest from biggest car clear technological interest from biggest car manufacturers but in order to sell it we need to clarify manufacturers but in order to sell it we need to clarify economy economy factorsfactors, such as: “How much , such as: “How much does does it cost to produce 1 kg of metal it cost to produce 1 kg of metal hydrides using our approach at different scales?”, “We must clarify hydrides using our approach at different scales?”, “We must clarify that metal hydrides remains reversible, during continues usage”, that metal hydrides remains reversible, during continues usage”, “How much “How much does does it cost to produce 1 kg of hydrogen using our it cost to produce 1 kg of hydrogen using our developed reversible hydrolytic evolution of hydrogen approach?” developed reversible hydrolytic evolution of hydrogen approach?” and etc. and etc.
