The most promising use of hydrogen in the near future is in the production of synthetic fuels. With a vast amount of affordable electricity, synthetic hydrocarbons can be economically tailored made to be significantly cleaner than gasoline and other fossil fuels. Synthetic hydrocarbons allow for a high fuel burn-up and a minimal CO2 release; they also allow for the control of unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and nitrous oxides. Initial costs would be competitive to current fuels, with a large-scale production cutting those costs in half. DBI is currently focusing on hexane, the easiest hydrocarbon to manufacture. The company has everything to support the direct conversion of thorium to hydrogen built into its demonstration reactor. |
