Hydrogen-Based Economy

Someday fossil fuels will run dry.

Hydrogen is a potentially renewable energy source

whose main by-product is water, environmentally a very

attractive feature. The hydrogen consuming device that

produces power is called a fuel-cell and the University ofRochesters Chemical Engineering Department has an

active research program in this area.
