Ali Javed

Green Hydrogen as a fuel

Hydrogen can be used as a good source of green renewable energy, and the objective of Ali Javed's project is the production of hydrogen using biogas. As the energy demands of this rapidly progressing world are increasing day by day, fossil fuels are depleting, new energy sources are much needed, and hydrogen fuel can serve this purpose. It can provide clean and eco-friendly energy, which can be produced using biogas and algae. Hydrogen is a zero-emission fuel. It has high efficiency than other traditional combustion technologies. It is a non-toxic and non-poisonous gas. Combustion of hydrogen will not generate fumes, and it does not pollute the environment; it also does not contribute to global warming.
