Will hydrogen energy become mainstream?

► It is a distinct possibility.

► Need to create facilities to… Store it, make it and

move it efficiantly.► Cost of Catalyst

material are expected to drop over the next 5 yrs. Nanotechnology

Hydrogen Power In MichiganInfrastructure

► State Funding is necessary.

► More Hydrogen fueling stations.

► More efficient ways to extract Hydrogen and enter into fuel cells.

► Nanotechnology is expensive.
