4/20/2006 Ga Tech - EAS 6410 - Air Chemistry Group Presentation A Hydrogen Economy’s Potential Environmental Impacts Chun Zhao Evan Cobb A Hydrogen Economy Hydrogen characteristics in the atm. Observed global hydrogen burden: 182 Tg Global sink: 74.4 Tg/yr Lifetime : 2.5 years Rahn etc. 2003 Current Mixing Ratio of H2: 510ppbv Tropospheric hydrogen Stratospheric hydrogen Hydrogen in troposphere The sources and sinks of hydrogen in troposphere Note for table of sources and sinks Hydrogen production from oxidation of organic compounds Reduction in OH H2 behaves like CO (takes up one OH and releases one HO2 radical + H20) Michael Prather, 2003. Reduction in OH by ↓NOx Decrease in OH is largely driven by the reduction in NOx emissions Importance of HOx/NOx coupling leads to non-linear dependence of OH on NOx levels Hydrogen in the Stratosphere The main hydrogen reservoirs in Stratosphere: Molecular hydrogen (H2) Water vapor (H2O) Methane ( CH4) H2 Sources in the Stratosphere CH4 OH, O(1D), Cl CH3 O2 HHO,OH,HCl CH3O2 NO NO2 CH3O O2 HO2 CH2O hv OH CO+H2 HCO+H HCO+H2O H2 sinks the in stratosphere Reaction with OH, O(1D), Cl: H2 + OH H2O + H H2 + O(1D) OH + H H2 + Cl HCl + H The fate of Hydrogen in stratosphere Main reactions of H2 in the stratosphere Potential chemical changes in the stratosphere H2 + OH → H2O + H “[H2O]…would result in cooling of the lower stratosphere, and the disturbance of ozone chemistry, which depends on heterogeneous reactions involving hydrochloric acid and chlorine nitrate on ices of H2O.” Tromp et al. 2003 pg. 17
