Options for Zero Emissions
Air pollution has been a known problem for a very long time. There have numerous measures to try to lower the levels of pollutants that factories, chemical plants, incinerators, and power generating facilities create. These facilities are now regulated strictly by governments around the world. There is still an even greater threat to our atmosphere, the pollutants that come out the exhausts of internal combustion engines (ICE) of automobiles. Cars are our a permanent part of our society, they cannot be eliminated or even substituted. An alternative to the ICE has to be universally accepted and must be used by all of our society. One Type of Alternative is the hydrogen fuel cell. The hydrogen fuel cell works similar to that of a battery, yet it doesn't need replacing or charging. Hydrogen Fuel Cells combine elemental H2 gas with oxygen from air to create an electric current and pure H2O. As with the nitrogen, this is a very efficient reaction. The fuel cells, many of which are put next to each other to make a 'stack', each have two semi-porous electrodes separated by a liquid electrolyte. The interior side of the electrodes are coated in a platinum catalyst. When the two elements come in contact with the catalyst and th
