The fuels most considered for the post petroleum and natural gas era, hydrogen (gaseous and liquid) and synthetic fluid fossil fuels, have been compared by taking into account production costs, utilization efficiencies and environmental effects. Three different cost bases have been used for hydrogen depending on the primary energy sources used in its production. The results show that hydrogen is a much more cost effective energy carrier than synthetic fossil fuels. In addition to its environmental and efficiency benefits, hydrogen causes resource conservation, savings in transportation and capital investment, and reduction in inflation. ABSTRACT. INTRODUCTION.
