Lecture<br />

Are You Ready for the Hydrogen Economy?<br />

A major shift in the world’s energy systems will soon overtake us. We will transition from the<br />

era when energy was produced by burning hydrocarbons (e.g. oil, natural gas, wood, coal) to an<br />

era where hydrogen will supply our energy needs. This lecture explains the generation, storage,<br />

transportation, and use of hydrogen. It explains some of the products that have already begun<br />

this transition (e.g. photovoltaic cells, hybrid-electric autos). Finally, it offers and discusses “tips<br />

for transition” to hydrogen, and how such transition will impact our country’s businesses, the<br />

homes we build, the cars we drive.<br />
