Pilas de combustible de hidrógeno, producción e implementación en el transporte público

Abstract

[EN] " I believe that water will one day be employed as fuel, that hydrogen and oxygen which constitute it, used singly or together, will furnish an inexhaustible source of heat and light, of an intensity of which coal is not capable. " Jules Verne, "The mysterious island" 1874 Humanity has experienced unbridled growth since its inception. Making the world its home and source of resources, reaching the point where the planet earth has stopped appearing immense and making it our responsibility to maintain it. In the search for sustainability, there are many problems that we face. In this context of change towards a sustainable future, hydrogen technologies and fuel cells appear. This technology has undergone incredible development in the last 40 years, but the room for improvement is still very wide. The electrolysis of water is such a sustainable process that its contamination only depends on the energy source with which it is fed. And its only residue is liquid water. In this thesis, a review will be made of the situation of hydrogen technologies, especially the electrolysis of water. And a sustainable project based on this phenomenon will be designed.

[ES] En la tesis se realizará el diseño de una planta solar para la alimentación de un electrolizador el cual producirá hidrógeno, este hidrógeno se utilizará para la movilidad de una flota de autobuses. Además se comparará la viabilidad en Valencia (universidad de origen) y Gdansk (universidad de destino)

[EN] In the thesis, the design of a solar plant for the supply of an electrolyzer will be carried out, which will produce hydrogen, this hydrogen will be used for the mobility of a fleet of buses. In addition, the viability in Valencia (home university) and Gdansk (destination university) will be compared.
