History

Since Thomas Edison turned on the first light bulb mankind has been searching for clean, cost effective energy sources. Although some have proved cost effective they have come under fire in recent decades for their impact on the global environment. 

Fossil Fuels

The vast majority of fuel and electric power today is dependent on some version of fossil fuel. Coal, oil, natural gas, propane and other forms of fossil fuel are rich in hydrocarbons making them an excellent form of stored energy. However, burning these fossil fuels creates billions of tons of carbon dioxide and hundreds of other contaminates to be released into the atmosphere. Fossil fuel has been blamed for creating negative impacts on the global environment such as global warming, acid rain, oil spills and a host of other environmental problems.

Initially fossil fuels were a cost effective form of energy and have become widely accepted around the world. The cost of our fossil fuel infrastructure has been slowly absorbed over the last hundred years easing the economic impact associated with its creation. In recent years however, the cost associated with fossil fuels, particularly oil, has increased exponentially. The increasing cost asscociated with fossil fuels along with the huge environmental impact has rendered these energy sources obsolete and significantly reduced their viability for future energy sources.

Wind

Wind Energy made its early appearance for the mass market some 30-40 years ago. In the early days of wind production the industry struggled with creating wind turbines that could provide adequate output for a given wind speed. Most of the early turbines required higher speed sustained winds which limted their viability mostly due to the limited locations for deployment. In recent decades wind turbines have become much more efficient enabling a more wide spread distirbution of wind technology.

Solar

Solar power is certainly one of the most promissing technologies for main stream use. Solar power lends itself to a more wide spread geographical area than wind and can be scaled down for use by individual home owners. As new solar panels become increasingly efficient  and more cost effective we will certainly see an increase in their wide spread use.

Hydrogen

Hydrogen fuel is by far the cleanest burning fuel producing near zero emissions other than water vapor. Hydrogen can be used in a variety of applications from hydrogen fuel cells to internal combustion engines and a host of others including powering the average home. Hydrogen is normally produced by refining natural gas or through the electrolysis of water. Producing hydrogen from the electroysis of water is the most prolific form of energy to date making it almost infinitely renewable.

Hystorically hydrogen fuel has had its challenges from a cost prospective as well as environmantal impact. Until now, producing hydrogen from natural gas or water has required significant amounts of power from an outside source. Producing hydrogen from grid energy or refining it is expensive and one must take into consideration the upstream emissions produced by external power sources and the carbon footprint they create. In short, no one has been able to produce large quantities of hydrogen fuel at an economical price with minimal carbon footprint.

UNTIL NOW!!

Green Tower Energy has made a major breakthrough in the hydrogen generation market. We now have the technology to produce large quantities of hydrogen at an exponentially lower cost with a minimal carbon footprint and minimal emissions. Learn More About our Technology Here  Hyrdrogen Fuel
