The Nobel Prize in Chemistry: Hydrogen - Breakthrough Discovery
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry: Hydrogen - Breakthrough DiscoveryWith the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2020 being given by the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences to two American scientists, the excitement is building to see the winners of this prestigious award. People are finally starting to believe that they can do better than mere mortals such as biochemists and other researchers. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2020 will go to the two American scientists who created the world's first commercial production of hydrogen.Albert Perry and Stanley Prusiner created a way to make hydrogen out of hydrogen and oxygen by means of breaking down carbon dioxide into hydrogen and oxygen. This method was used in the manufacture of gasoline.This breakthrough in the use of chemical compounds to produce hydrogen from water and other chemicals is now used to create chemicals for producing hydrogen from solar energy and solar power. Hydrogen fuel has become more necessary in the environmentally friendly future in which we all must live.These scientists said that when they started their work, they were trying to solve the problem of climate change. They say that this would have been extremely difficult with the environmental damage that is already happening with global warming. But now, the problem is solved or at least greatly reduced.One of the problems is the pollution of the atmosphere with petroleum products such as gasoline and diesel, but this is also an opportunity. It is becoming more difficult to extract petroleum from fossil fuels because of the global warming problem. But there is a way to produce energy from hydrogen and water and the science of producing hydrogen is one step ahead of the scientists who are already doing it.The scientific progress that they have made over the years makes it easy to conclude that this discovery by Albert Perry and Stanley Prusiner is really worth a Nobel Prize. You can find out more about this problem of global warming by visiting the website of Dr. Kambhampati Mukhopadhyay, founder of India's India Science and Technology Initiative (ISiT).He has helped to reduce oil consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by using renewable energy, low-impact materials, and making some cost savings from switching to new, cleaner technologies. These are just a few ideas for how you can help the cause of global warming.
