It has many properties to commend itself: it complements the nonconventional primary energy sources and presents them to the consumer in a convenient form; it is relatively inexpensive to produce; it can be converted to various energy forms at the consumer end with higher efficiencies than other fuels; it is renewable; and it is the lightest and cleanest fuel. It can be used in every application where fossil fuels are used today, including meeting the energy requirements of human settlements, such as cooking, water and space heating, cooling and refrigeration, lighting, powering farm implements and transportation, and electricity generation. In all these applications, it is superior to conventional fuels and other synthetic alternatives. There are already demonstration projects to show the applications of hydrogen in the domestic and transportation sectors of human settlements. Miami Univ., Coral Gables, FL, USA.
