Abstract :
Sodium metal reacts with water violently and generates a huge amount of hydrogen. Sodium metal has the role as a hydrogen storage material. The fossil fuel and nuclear fuel are deposited only in a limited region in the world and reserves are limited, whereas sodium exists plentifully as a salt in seawater and exists abundantly as a rock salt on the continents. Sodium (specific gravity, 0.971) is lighter than water and is stored safely in kerosene for electric power. The solution can then be transported to a location and with the addition of water can instantaneously generate a large amount of hydrogen for power generation.
