Hydrogen On Demand
Hydrogen-on-demand systems within the automotive industry may one day rock the world. If the current hydrogen on demand systems that are being
developed pan out or if future hydrogen-on-demand systems take hold, this could mean that building a huge hydrogen gas infrastructure is not
necessary. A hydrogen generator may one day start with just the turn of an ignition key.

Currently, the hydrogen-on-demand systems that are being developed for the automotive industry either use electrolysis or a chemical reaction in order
to generate hydrogen as needed for a car equipped with either an internal combustion engine (ICE) or a fuel cell. The hydrogen-on-demand systems that
use electrolysis generally use some other metal catalyst such as aluminum or magnesium to help aid in the process.
The hydrogen-on-demand systems that use a chemical reaction usually start with sodium borohydride (or another boron / hydrogen derivative), which is a
hydrogen-rich chemical compound and force a reaction that releases the hydrogen as needed. In the case of sodium borohydride (NaBH4), the result of
the chemical reaction is to degrade into inert salt, which can then be recycled back into sodium borohydride again.
Some of the companies currently developing hydrogen-on-demand technology include Hydrogen Power Incorporated, who have developed a Hydrogen Now
system, which they have demonstrated at the 2007 International Auto Show in Seattle, Washington. The Hydrogen Now system was retrofitted inside a 2005
Ford Ranger XL. Another company that currently has a retrofit hydrogen insertion device on the market, Hypower Fuel Incorporated is testing its new
Hydrogen Reactor (H2R) on-demand system and is expected soon to demonstrate its device.
