POWERING MOTOR VEHICLES – HYDROGEN VS. METHANE
Zoran Čekerevac This paper analyzes various propulsion systems, including internal combustion engines (ICEs) using hydrogen and methane, as well as hydrogen fuel cells. It primarily focuses on fuel cells that convert chemical energy from hydrogen and oxygen into electrical energy through electrochemical processes, providing a clean and efficient energy source. The paper details the materials and reactions involved, highlighting the roles of catalysts and the Fuel Cell Control Unit (FCCU) in managing the process. Despite their environmental benefits and high efficiency, hydrogen fuel cells face significant barriers to widespread adoption, including limitations in infrastructure, high production costs, and consumer perception issues. Safety concerns, such as the risks associated with invisible flames and high-pressure hydrogen storage, are also addressed. A comparative analysis of gasoline and methane-powered vehicles underscores the potential of hydrogen as a sustainable alternative, although challenges in production, storage, and infrastructure persist. The paper concludes that hydrogen fuel cells hold promise for reducing emissions and advancing sustainable transportation. Overcoming these barriers will substantial investment in technology and infrastructure development, until then, methane remains a viable solution for reducing pollution.
