Hydrogen Economy

The Hydrogen Economy - The NAE and the Board on Energy and Environmental Systems have completed a major hydrogen study for the Department of Energy. The purpose of this study was to determine how the U.S. can move to a hydrogen-based economy, primarily in the transport sector. By now it is well understood that a complete change in our basic energy systems may be necessary to accomplish this, as well as new technical breakthroughs and large reductions in the capital cost of key components such as fuel cells.
