Fueling The Future

Fossil fuels transformed the world in the last century. The world is no longer willing to tolerate the negative effects of carbon dioxide emissions and other greenhouse gases. Finding a sustainable alternative form of energy to fossil fuels is important for mitigating climate change. The governments across the world currently provide some form of incentives for renewable (wind and solar) energy use by the consumers. At the same time the alternative energy innovative research and exciting new developments occurs across the world. Hydrogen is one such example, earth’s most abundant element, that has attracted as an alternate fuel spotlight. Hydrogen fuel can be produced as a clean energy from fossil and renewable energy sources. They can be used in the transport sector and also displace the natural gas as a fuel with no carbon dioxide emissions at point source. Supply and demand laws of economics apart from the necessary infrastructure development will eventually push down prices to be more competitive with traditional fossil fuels and ultimately displace them on a global scale.\r\n\r\nCarbon dioxide could also be fuel of the future. Direct Air Capture (DAC) as one of the tools at our disposal for dealing with the greenhouse effect. Elon Musk…
