Hydrogen Economy Articles / Discussions on hydrogen efficiencies Date: Jul 12, 2005 - 10:52 PM Hydrogen Fuel Cells are the projected "backbone" of the Hydrogen Economy.   There are issues in Hydrogen supply, and in the efficiency of Fuel Cells which must be explored.   I have a page under development to look at Fuel Cell efficiency, and have a hypertext page below for hydrogen production. If hydrogen is made from natural gas in a medium size facility, the efficiency is o­nly 65%.  Large facilities with higher efficiency are few, and tend to be in remote locations. Compression of hydrogen from 300 to 6000psi will cost over 10% of the electricity produced by the fuel cell that will use it.  This is the cost of transportation.
