Hydrogen Economy 

Dr Paul Nieuwenhuis, Dr Peter Wells, Mr Gavin Harper (PhD scholar).

There has been much discussion in political and business circles of a hydrogen economy. Many regard it as a panacea for our environmental problems, however BRASS takes a more academic approach. This project attempts to assess the feasibility and likely cost of the move to a hydrogen economy. It also links with issues of regional economy in Wales, Iceland, California and British Columbia.
