A Proposal for Water Transportation by a Hydrogen Energy System : A Feasibility Study for Kazakhstan
Year: 2020
Type: article
Abstract: This study examines the use of hydrogen as an energy carrier for spreading renewable energy and mitigating environmental problems, and proposes a system for carrying clean water together with hydrogen.Practical simulations were carried out assuming the present conditions of Kazakhstan.The capital and most other large cities are located both far from clean water sources, and areas with plenty of sunshine.The proposed model consists of hydrogen generation by solar-powered electrolysis, transportation of hydrogen by railways and electric power generation using fuel cells in cities.The fuel cells also generate clean liquid water.This paper proposes a hydrogen transportation system by railway, where Ti-based hydrogen storage alloys fabricated with readily available metals in Kazakhstan are used.The railway is the most practical means of transportation compared to other methods in terms of utilities, economy, environment and time.
