Abstract :
Traditionally, electrical and thermal energy is produced in a conventional combustion process. Coal, fuel oil, and natural gas are common fuels used for electrical generation, while nuclear, hydroelectric, and solar are non-combustion processes. All fossil fuels release their stored energy and air pollution simultaneously when burned in a contemporary combustion process. To reduce or eliminate air pollution, the combustion process must be shifted in some way to another type of process. Extracting pollution-free energy from fossil fuels can be accomplished through the electrochemical reaction of a fuel cell. A non-combustion process is a foundation from which pollution-free energy emerges, fulfilling our incessant need for energy without environmental compromise.
