November 9, 200718 yr That's an interesting article on water availability. They need to find better ways to cool their plants, or cooler ways to produce hydrogen from water. Solar power can be used to make hydrogen, that's a completely clean way, as long as the compressor is also powered by solar.
November 9, 200718 yr Why use fresh water? You don't need to use water at all. Most hydrogen is produced as a byproduct of other industrial processes, but you can also extract it from landfill gas, natural gas etc.

Like Griffon said, using clean water is not a requirement. Edited November 10, 200718 yr by smallchevy
November 10, 200718 yr Author I read that distilled water is required for th electrolysis of water and that salt water was unacceptable for cooling towers becasue of corrosion and other problems.
