Hydrogen Transmission Network - Clean Energy and Clean Water at Once

While much has been written and studied about such energy solutions as solar energy, wind energy and biofuels, there has not been enough written about a clean energy solution that, besides solving global warming, also stands to solve freshwater depletion, deliver convenient round-the-clock water and energy, and replace two infrastructures with one integrated system of pipes.

The solution is Hydrogen Transmission Network (HTN). The Hydrogen Transmission Network will use solar energy to perform electrolysis of ocean water and send the resulting hydrogen through pipes to all places of energy and water consumption, there to react with oxygen in the air to create clean energy and clean water at once. The hydrogen will be plentiful and available around the clock, delivering convenience to the user. No carbon will be involved in the process at any stage.

HTN will replace two expensive and inefficient systems - electricity grid and water system - with a single elegant network whose energy efficiency will be greater than that of the current electric grid. It will end the burden on the freshwater resources, that are running out in much of the world. As an added benefit, it will make it possible to fuel a fleet of hydrogen-powered vehicles.

HTN has been reviewed and found to be technically and economically feasible. It stands to be a full solution. Environmentally, it stands to resolve both the global warming crisis and the water crisis that is taking place in much of the world. Economically, it stands to create vast numbers of jobs to lift the economy and realize vast economic benefit in the long term by replacing two systems - electric grid and water system - with one integrated network of hydrogen pipes. And technologically, it stands to replace a large array of power plants and expensive, wasteful electric transmission lines with much cheaper and more efficient hydrogen pipes connected to one or several ocean-side electrolysis plants.
