The rising price of petrol and diesel is increasing the interest of people towards electric and hydrogen fueled vehicles. In the last two-three years, electric two-wheelers and four wheelers of many companies have been seen on the road, which has made it clear that electric vehicles can become a means of transport in the future. While there is not a lot of vehicles running on hydrogen fuel yet.
Recently Toyota launched its first hydrogen fueled car. Through which Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari has reached Parliament House for the first time. After which the discussion has started about which is better among the cars running on petrol, diesel, electric and hydrogen fuel. Here we will help you know the better option among these four.
How powerful is hydrogen fuel? The power of a fuel is measured in terms of gravitational energy density. For example, the gravitational energy density of diesel is 45MJ/kg, while the gravitational energy density for natural gas is 55MJ/kg. Hydrogen fuel has three times the energy density of diesel (about 120MJ/kg). In this case, converting hydrogen fuel power in turn results in better efficiency because hydrogen produces more energy per pound of fuel.
Dependence on other countries for petrol and diesel – Petrol and diesel are not produced in the country, so petrol and diesel are imported in the country. For this the country is dependent on OPEC countries. Whereas hydrogen is in sufficient quantity all over the world, which can become an alternative to petrol-diesel in the future.
Zero percent carbon emissions Where carbon emissions from petrol and diesel are very high. At the same time, producing electricity to charge electric vehicles also generates carbon emissions. Whereas, zero percent carbon is emitted in driving and producing hydrogen fuel.
