Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from H. R. 655-the Hydrogen Future Act of 1995: Hearing Before the Committee on Science, U. S. House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, First Session; February 1, 1995; No. 2
I am pleased to appear before the Committee to review the Department of Energy programs for hydrogen and to discuss h.r. 655 the Hydrogen Future Act of 1995. The Department recognizes the potential offered by hydrogen, and has embraced a vision proposed by the Hydrogen Technical Advisory Panel, that hydrogen will join with electricity in the lt century as a primary energy carrier in the Nation's energy future. Both energy carriers will ultimately be derived from renewable resources and be delivered via pathways linking production, storage, and distribution steps to end-users for a variety of applications. However, fossil fuels will provide a long-term transitional resource. Hydrogen will ultimately offer a non-polluting, potentially efficient and cost-effective energy system that could be derived entirely fronldomestic energy sources. Realization of this bold vision could enable this Nation to gain a significant share of the world's future hydrogen technologies market. Once hydrogen energy systems are cost effective, many jobs will be created in newly emerging hydrogen industries. The mission of the doe-sponsored hydrogen research is to encourage and support the development of safe, practical and economically competitive hydrogen technologies and systems to meet transitional and large-scale energy needs.
