Hydrogen: energy storage for the future
Studýnka, Radim ; Škvařil, Jan (referee) ; Martinec, Jiří (advisor)
The aim of this work was to characterize the hydrogen as energy reservoir, to characterize the ways of its storage, to describe its position in possible future scheme of energy sources and to name energy sources, which can be used to produce it. Another objective was the characterization of the current state of the used energy sources. In the opening part is described the current state of energy sources, the characterisation of the hydrogen follows together with description of its possible future status. In the next parts are described production, storage and use of hydrogen. In the near future can be expected, that the hydrogen will be produced from fossil fuels at the beginning, especially due to their availability, and they could be replaced after some time by alternative sources of energy. One of these sources could be nuclear power. Storage of hydrogen in the liquid and gaseous state is currently the most widely method especially due to relatively well known technology. Metal hydrides and porous materials could become common storage medium of the hydrogen in the case of mastering their technology. The hydrogen can be used in stationary applications for cogeneration units, which produce heat and electricity. It can be also used in mobile applications for drive vehicles, which use hydrogen engines or hydrogen fuel cells.
