Basics
- A Whitepaper published by Amory B. Lovins, CEO, Rocky Mountain Institute on 20 June 2003, corrected and updated 17 February 2005
- Covers various myths about hydrogen utilization, storage, and Hydrogen Economies
- Most was framed in the debate of Hydrogen versus Gasoline
- Also heavily focused on Hydrogen Fuel Cell based vehicles, and the efficiency of that system making up for storage inefficiencies (a valid point, and once fuel cells become slightly cheaper/acessable, they are a great option)
- Supported Decentralized Production of Hydrogen via Electrolysis of Water and Reforming of Hydrocarbons (Mainly Methane Reforming ) for most of the early hydrogen economy, with the addition of new pilepines/systems being developed once demand is made. (Sidenote Hydrogen Pipelines already exist, and Natural Gas Pipelines can use HCNG with little to no modifications, and with some modifications use pure hydrogen gas)
