Abstract
One of the problems of our time is environmental pollution by emissions of harmful substances formed as a result of the functioning of industry, agriculture, power generation facilities, transport and the household sector. The operation of all these facilities is ensured by using natural energy sources, the reserves of which are not endless. Another objectively present problem is superimposed on this problem - global warming. Regardless of the causes of global warming, humanity must adapt to this process. The question is: how can we ensure "climate neutrality" on the scale of the human environment? One of the solutions to the problems is the diversification of the energy generation methods used. In addition, the main source of atmospheric pollution in populated areas is transport, the number of which has currently reached almost 1.5 billion units in the world. The transition from cars to electric vehicles, as well as to transport using hybrid motor units (which are a combination of a heat engine and an electric motor), will reduce environmental pollution in large populated areas. Much attention is being paid to technologies for generating electricity by burning hydrogen, but at present, more than 90% of hydrogen production is provided by processing natural gas, which is accompanied by the formation of harmful substances and "greenhouse gases" that enter the atmosphere and, due to transboundary air flows, spread over many hundreds and thousands of kilometers, polluting vast territories. At the same time, the use of hydrogen will increase the emission of water vapor (a product of hydrogen combustion), which is three times more greenhouse than carbon dioxide. This article does not consider the issue of the price of the energy sources used and the electricity received since the pricing process is absolutely subjective, and often, the political factor is superimposed on it.
