Een waterstofeconomie is een economie waarbij waterstof de belangrijkste energiedrager is. Dit in tegenstelling tot de huidige economie waar fossiele brandstoffen de belangrijkste energiedragers zijn. Het belangrijkste probleem hierbij is de opslag van waterstof.
Recente ontwikkelingen op dit punt zouden een doorbraak kunnen betekenen:
Zee News - Hydrogen storage technology breakthrough can make cell-powered car use widespread
Washington, May 24: UK scientists have developed a compound of the element lithium which may make it practical to store enough hydrogen on-board fuel-cell-powered cars to enable them to drive over 300 miles without refuelling.EETimes.com - Researchers: starch, enzymes release hydrogen from water for fuel
PORTLAND, Ore. — University and government researchers are investigating whether a blend of starch, enzymes and water could produce hydrogen fuel for future cars."
Our energy conversion efficiency is so high that we believe we can provide the fuel for all future vehicle transportation," claimed Percival Zhang, an engineering professor at Virginia Tech (Blacksburg, Va.).
