[QUOTE="Campground Cattle, post: 52530, member: 195"] Well actually the world is not ready for hydrogen and the dangers that come with it as it's LEL is 2% and UEL is 76% much broader than hydrocabons in the market today. It also burns colorless which add another hazard to overcome. LEL stands for lower explosive limit UEL upper explosive limit. Most hydrocarbons are in the 20% to 50% range making them safer and easier to handle. Storage of Hydrogen presents another problem due to molecular size of h2. Last but not least it takes Xlbs of energy to move Xlbs down the road. you are going to have to consume 10's of times the amount of water to get the same energy in one gallon of diesel. 1 gallon of gasoline has 125 mbtu's 1 gal of diesel has 160 mbtu's 1 gallon of hydrogen about 2 mbtu's. So what appears to be better is not alway's true. We are getting close but effiecent, safe use as hydrogen is still years out. [/QUOTE]
