  2. Hydrogen technologies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_technologies

    Hydrogen is a chemical widely used in various applications including ammonia production, oil refining and energy. [1] The most common methods for producing hydrogen on an industrial scale are: Steam reforming, oil reforming, coal gasification, water electrolysis. [2] Hydrogen is not a primary energy source, because it is not naturally occurring ...

  3. Hydrogen economy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_economy

    Hydrogen gas is produced by several industrial methods. [37] Nearly all of the world's current supply of hydrogen is created from fossil fuels. [38] [39]: 1 Most hydrogen is gray hydrogen made through steam methane reforming. In this process, hydrogen is produced from a chemical reaction between steam and methane, the main component of natural gas.

  4. Gas lighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_lighting

    Gas lighting in the historical center of Wrocław, Poland, is manually turned off and on daily.. Gas lighting is the production of artificial light from combustion of a fuel gas such as methane, propane, butane, acetylene, ethylene, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, coal gas (town gas) or natural gas.

  5. Hydrocarbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrocarbon

    Combustion of hydrocarbons is currently the main source of the world's energy for electric power generation, heating (such as home heating), and transportation. [10] [11] Often this energy is used directly as heat such as in home heaters, which use either petroleum or natural gas. The hydrocarbon is burnt and the heat is used to heat water ...

  7. Hydrogen compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_compressor

    Hydrogen compressors are closely related to hydrogen pumps and gas compressors: both increase the pressure on a fluid and both can transport the fluid through a pipe.As gases are compressible, the compressor also reduces the volume of hydrogen gas, whereas the main result of a pump raising the pressure of a liquid is to allow the liquid hydrogen to be transported elsewhere.

  8. Hydrogen storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_storage

    The UK has completed surveys and is preparing to start injecting hydrogen into the gas grid as the grid previously carried 'town gas' which is a 50% hydrogen-methane gas formed from coal. Auditors KPMG found that converting the UK to hydrogen gas could be £150bn to £200bn cheaper than rewiring British homes to use electric heating powered by ...

  9. Renewable fuels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_fuels

    Renewable fuels are fuels produced from renewable resources. Examples include: biofuels (e.g. Vegetable oil used as fuel, ethanol, methanol from clean energy and carbon dioxide [1] or biomass, and biodiesel), Hydrogen fuel (when produced with renewable processes), and fully synthetic fuel (also known as electrofuel) produced from ambient carbon dioxide and water.
