THE NEW FUELS WITH MAGNECULAR STRUCTURE 7<br />

jor users, unless suitable corrective measures are initiated, as it occurred <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

tobacco industry.<br />

It is hoped that people trapped in traffic, thus inhaling <strong>the</strong> carcinogenic fumes<br />

from <strong>the</strong> vehicle in front, will remember <strong>the</strong> above evidence and assume an active<br />

role in <strong>the</strong> support of environmentally acceptable <strong>fuels</strong> because it is written<br />

throughout history that people have <strong>the</strong> government and system <strong>the</strong>y deserve.<br />

There exist numerous additional environmental problems caused by <strong>the</strong> global<br />

study of fossil <strong>fuels</strong>, that is, not only <strong>the</strong> environmental problems caused by <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

combustion, but also those caused by <strong>the</strong>ir production and transportation. The<br />

latter problems are omitted here <strong>for</strong> brevity and also because <strong>the</strong> dimension of<br />

problems 1), 2) and 3) is a sufficient call <strong>for</strong> persons in good faith.<br />

1.3 Serious Environmental Problems Caused by<br />

Hydrogen, Natural Gas, Ethanol, Biogases and<br />

Fuels <strong>with</strong> Molecular Structure<br />

Whenever facing <strong>the</strong> ever increasing cataclysmic climactic events caused by<br />

fossil fuel combustion, a ra<strong>the</strong>r widespread belief is that <strong>the</strong> solution already<br />

exists and it is given by hydrogen <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> large scale fuel uses of <strong>the</strong> future because<br />

hydrogen is believed to be “<strong>the</strong> cleanest fuel available to mankind.”<br />

Due to <strong>the</strong> potentially lethal implications <strong>for</strong> mankind, it is necessary to dispel<br />

this belief and indicate that, <strong>the</strong> current production and combustion of hydrogen,<br />

whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>for</strong> an internal combustion engine or <strong>for</strong> a fuel cell, causes a global<br />

pollution much greater than that caused by gasoline when compared <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> same<br />

energy outputs.<br />

Hydrogen is indeed an environmentally acceptable fuel, but only when its production<br />

and use verify <strong>the</strong> following conditions:<br />

CONDITION I: Hydrogen is produced via <strong>the</strong> electrolytic separation of water;<br />

CONDITION II: The electricity used <strong>for</strong> electrolysis originates from clean and<br />

re<strong>new</strong>able energy sources, such as those of hydric, solar or wind nature; and<br />

CONDITION III: The oxygen produced by <strong>the</strong> electrolytic process is freely<br />

released in <strong>the</strong> environment so that <strong>the</strong> subsequent hydrogen combustion leaves<br />

unchanged <strong>the</strong> existing oxygen content of our atmosphere.<br />

However, <strong>the</strong> reality in <strong>the</strong> production and use of hydrogen is dramatically<br />

different than <strong>the</strong> above ideal conditions. In fact, hydrogen is today produced in<br />

its greatest percentage via re<strong>for</strong>mation processes of fossil <strong>fuels</strong> such as methane
