ZEEP 24 is a new project from Japan that allows the creation and storage of hydrogen fuel in hydride canisters. It is a small system but sufficient to support most Japanese households.
ReplyDeleteIf every home had a solar hydrogen system to supply its night time needs for electric power and eventually as a supplement to its transportation needs for fuel cell cars the islands of Japan would have true energy independence and their dangerous use of atomic power could be discarded.

Jeremy Rifkins new book ::The Third Industrial Revolution" details how we can rebuild the world on the basis of renewable nonpolluting energy and the free flowing information of the internet. The five pillars to success are;
ReplyDelete1. Shift to distributed renewable energy.
2. Transform the entire building stock into micro power plants.
3. Deploy distributed hydrogen storage and other means to distribute energy storage.
4. Use internet technology to transform the power grid into an energy sharing intergrid.
5. Transition the transportation fleet to battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles that can buy and sell power on the intergrid.
These five pillars are interlocking and mutually reinforcing and the end result is a world based on pollution (and depletion) free renewable energy (the sun)and everything running on clean electricity.
The even better part is that this new world will be based on distributed collaboration socially, instead of top down hierarchical control and endless oil wars. People will be finally able to be free, with their own energy and their own way to make a living, with customers spread all over the world.
