Hydrogen - The Golden Key

One of the first of the many challenges set before us in replacing fossil fuels with clean energy production methods, namely hydrogen, is the question of how to make hydrogen cheaply enough for it to be a viable replacement. 
We have an addiction to fossil fuels that isn’t easily curbed, coupled with the fact that we as humans, naturally and continually evolve to the better, easier, faster standards of living.  
We don’t want to move backwards, we surely do not want to give up anything that makes our lives more convenient, and we are so tired of consistently paying MORE for these things.
 
The second question is, of course, how to produce it in ways that are environmentally neutral.  
 
Here I will reference the punctured artery in the Gulf Region of the earth…need I say more…
 
Up until now, hydrogen has been mainly produced by electrolysis using electricity to split the water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen, used in hundreds of products and more recently for fuel, hasn’t been living on an even playing field yet because of the amount of energy (and money) it has taken to create it. Plus, creating it from renewables (wind/solar) up until this point hasn’t been widely practical because so much power has been needed from those renewables to feed the electrolysis method.
 
But…
 
What if the process of creating hydrogen for electricity and fuel was now cheaper than any other method – even fossil fuels? Further, what if hydrogen was able to be produced on-demand and safely stored without the cost to the environment and of the fossil fuels to get it there?
 
It has happened and we are currently moving forward with even greater efficiency in safe and rapid hydrogen creation with JWI technology called the Plasma Water Reactor or (PWR).
 
The initial testing procedures on our first-generation plasma-based process commenced without delay, bringing with them excellent results.  They confirm the capacity to create hydrogen at a very high rate while having more than double the efficiency of typical electrolysis methods.
 
In addition to its low input/high output ratio and because of the principles the plasma system is based upon, PWR can also be used for rapid water desalination and purification at waste water treatment facilities.  This adds significant environmental value to this technology by filling gaps in additional industries needing clean energy solutions.
 
These above attributes make this process a historical achievement.  If you further add the fact that it’s also a 100% clean, green energy production method, what you have is technology with the ability to radically alter the world and the way we power our lives.
 
And while we’d like to give ourselves big huge pats on the back for all of our "sweat-equity" in consistantly pushing for, and hence developing such an incredible method of energy production, we don’t necessarily have the time for that.  We’ll throw a party later.  At this point we will continue to pursue greater and higher leglislation for clean energy with more incentives for its implementation to benefit both the provider and the consumer.
 
Until next time, Peace!
