Study: Hydrogen Cars Don't Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Instead of depending on Middle Eastern oil, we would be reliant on the Middle East's natural gas
Switching from gasoline-powered cars to hydrogen cars would not reduce greenhouse gas emissions nor would it eliminate America's dependence on the Middle East's energy supplies, according to a new Reason Foundation study. The Reason Foundation report shows that if the U.S. replaced 20 percent of today's vehicles with hydrogen cars, CO2 emissions would either drop a tiny amount from 1.67 billion tons per year to 1.63 billion tons, or actually rise to 2.13 billion tons a year, depending upon what method is used to produce the hydrogen. "Hydrogen isn't the quick-fix we've been led to believe it could be," said Adrian Moore, vice president of research at Reason Foundation and the study's project director. "Producing and transporting hydrogen for use in fuel-cell cars requires significant amounts of conventional energy and therefore won't reduce greenhouse gas emissions. When you look at the facts you see hydrogen isn't a solution to global warming and it isn't going to decrease our dependence on foreign energy."
