## State-of-the-Union Address January 28, 2003

- “Our goal is to promote energy independence for our country, while dramatically improving the environment. . . . In this century, the greatest environmental progress will come about not through endless lawsuits, or regulations, but through technology and innovation.
- Tonight I’m proposing $1.2 billion in research funding so that America can lead the world in developing clean, hydrogen-powered automobiles.  (Applause)
- A single chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen generates energy, which can be used to power a car pollution-free – producing only water, not exhaust fumes.  (Applause)
- Join me in this important innovation to make to make our air cleaner, and our country less dependent on foreign sources of energy.”  (Applause)

## The Hydrogen Economy

- hydrogen fuel
- 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O + *energy(1)*
- electrolysis of water
- 2H2O + *energy(2)* → 2H2 + O2
- steam methane reforming
- 2H2O + CH4 + *energy(3)* → 4H2 + CO2
