[extropy-chat] Green H2 production

[Peter K. Bertine, Jr]

Can anyone come up with some good suggestions for viable, small scale, off
the grid production of H2 to power individual home fuel cells, provide
cooking and heating and fuel for H2 powered vehicles?  The property for this
project is in the town of Forestburg, NY, 85 miles from NYC and totals 1700
acres with the Neversink River running through it.  Part of the property
will have full utilities, electric and phone, to ensure the commercial
success of the project.  The first phase of the project is already underway
with the construction of 5 homes from www.ecocontempo.com
<http://www.ecocontempo.com/>  .  One of these homes will be a model and
will be totally off the grid, yet be as “comfortable” as the other 4, if not
more so, and be much more fun to live in with everything contemporary
technology has to offer.. 

 

The H2 solution would have to use off the shelf commercially available
technology and be powered by solar, wind and hydro-electric, many of the
homes will be powered this way as well.  The H2 produced would need to be
bottled in existing H2 transport tanks from an H2 production facility
remotely located on the 1700 acres.  This facility could be placed on the
river running through the property that would provide electric and water for
the H2 production.  One question is how much electric power is needed to
make the H2 in order to fuel 1 utility pick up truck (for bottled H2
transport), one H2 powered car and supply H2 for at least 1000 watts of
continuous electric generation for 1 house and meet the heating and cooking
needs of a well insulated 1400 sqft structure see
