Article short description:

Hydrogen is one of the potential replacements for an oil and oil related products in nearest future. It can be produce from various energetic resources. Some of the common productions methods are:
- Production a hydrogen from Coal by process “Coal gasification”
- Production of hydrogen from methane, methanol, propane or gasoline using process called “Reforming from hydrocarbon”
- Production of hydrogen from water this process is called “electrolysis of water”

Hydrogen is one of the potential replacements for an oil and oil related products in nearest future. It can be produce from various energetic resources. Some of the common productions methods are:
- Production a hydrogen from Coal by process “Coal gasification”
- Production of hydrogen from methane, methanol, propane or gasoline using process called “Reforming from hydrocarbon”
- Production of hydrogen from water this process is called “electrolysis of water”

Production of hydrogen from water via process of “electrolysis of water” consumes big amounts of energy, therefore this process can be implemented mainly in places where there are power plants which generates a lot of electricity like Nuclear Power Plants. In the future those Nuclear Power Plants can be replaced by NPP (Fusion Power Plant - Tokamak) with reactors fulled by a Helium-3 from the Moon.

Hydrogen is zero carbon emission fuel with high energetic values which is at least 3 times more energetic than oil and gasoline.
