HYDROGEN'S POTENTIAL AS A VEHICULAR FUEL FOR TRANSPORTATION
Results of a study prepared by Exxon Research and Engineering Company on hydrogen's potential as a vehicular fuel for transportation are analyzed in view of recent developments with metal hydride storage techniques and with increased engine operational efficiencies. An unpublished technology assessment by Battelle-Columbus Laboratories is also reviewed. It is shown that although compressed gas or cryogenic hydrogen generated from coal cannot compete with other conventional fuels, metal hydride storage systems and increased engine efficiencies may bring about a feasible energy alternative for transportation.
