Sooner or later the world will run out of fossil fuels. When that time comes, China which is now the largest oil-consumer and other fossil fuels in the world, needs to change to new technology that allows cars to be moved and electricity to be powered without fossil fuels. As for electricity generation,China should build more nuclear reactors and shut down pollution-inducing coal plants by 2028, and replace all of them with nuke plants or other plants that use clean renewable energy. See below:
World Without Fossil Fuel
Fossil fuel is the main source of power in the modern human civilization. The carbon deposits which were preserved over millions of years, has transformed in to carbon and hydrogen chemical structure called fossil fuel. There are various kind of fossil fuel categorized based on number of carbon atoms in its structure which are having various applications. Significant part of the fossil fuel engines power up transportation and generate electricity for human needs. According to the increasing need with expanding industries and population the fossil fuel deposits are reducing in a greater speed than its regeneration. Therefore the human civilization has to shift to an alternative power source by 2050 and all the fossil fuel deposits will be over by 2100. In addition to that fossil fuel engine generates harmful by products including carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Due to that there is a serious health and environmental issues have occurred. All the above facts demand a new source of power to continue human civilization and modern technological advancement with lesser environmental impact. The big question is Can human civilization continues to have comfortable living conditions without fossil fuel? The answer is changing from NO to YES due to the latest advancement of science and results of research about alternative fuel.
Hydrogen Fuel cell
How It Works
Hydrogen fuel cell is a mechanism to convert hydrogen fuel in to electricity. It uses Hydrogen and Oxygen as input and generates electricity as the output. Most importantly the by product of this reaction is Water (H2O). This mechanism generates electricity using non-fossil fuel with much lesser environmental impact because this is not emitting harmful gases or significant noise. Unlike traditional power cells, hydrogen fuel cell is not a closed system. It generates electricity as long as there is a hydrogen and Oxygen supply.
Advantages and Applications
The next question about hydrogen fuel cell is it efficient? Can it be used to practical applications? As a perfect answer for above questions there are few successful prototypes which are power by Hydrogen fuel cell. That prototype contains house hold electricity generation, automobiles and even advanced military applications like submarines. The greater advantage of Hydrogen fuel cell is there is no moving part it or any fuel burning like in traditional internal combustion engine. Therefore its having much lesser energy wastage and highly improved reliability. Due to these advantages several market giants like Toyota, Chrysler and Mercedes-benz are investing huge amount of money on research on Hydrogen fuel cell power automobiles and there are various working prototypes also been introduced as a result. Furthermore some cities already have Hydrogen filling stations and Hydrogen fuel cell powered public transportation.
Future of Hydrogen Fuel Cell
Hydrogen is the most common element in the universe. This advanced usage of Hydrogen as a fuel to generate electricity will become the main source of power in human civilization in near future. In addition to that this fuel will provide electricity as same as fossil fuel and with much lesser environmental impact. When it comes to the automobiles there will be much lesser engine vibrations and noise which lead to even comfortable driving experience.
The time has come for China to adopt more cleaner energy sources. If Chinese research succeeds, It is for Chinese people's technological pride too!
We only have one planet so the environment should be of first priority. And no, i'm not an environmentalist, i just fear for our children and our grandchildren's future(By the way, i'm single lol
