It’s technology that converts diesel into hydrogen fuel.

The hydrogen power system the INEEL is fine tuning right now may be used to power U.S. Navy ships soon.

Regular diesel fuel you can buy at any gas station is being converted.

Lyman Frost, dir. of special energy projects, says, “We can convert it into a clean fuel that can be used much more efficiently, much more productively and generate electricity in remote locations.”

Remote places like in the middle of an ocean.

Mark Cervi, project coordinator, Naval Power Systems, says, “This technology provides the opportunity for quiet, efficient and environmentally clean fuel cell generators for all electric U.S. Navy ships and in the commercial marine and power generation industry.”

There are high hopes for this power system, including the possibility of it being marketed commercially.

The Navy is designing a destroyer ship and it could be powered by hydrogen.

The decision about whether to use it or not will made in the next couple of years.
