Over the buffet table at the UK Hydrogen Fuel Cell Association meeting in Westminster last evening, I shared a vision of the future of energy with a representative of the Carbon Trust.
“It’s just amazing to think that the future of our energy is going to be not only renewable, but essentially electrons and protons – as we liberate protons to make hydrogen gas. We are going to be using the basic building blocks of the universe for power and gas.”
“You can’t really get more simple than that – or greener.”
“Forget messing about with complex hydrocarbons or uranium…”
“…or naphtha…”
Making fuel gas from seawater…we’re not exactly going to run out of that.
