This presents challenges because neither high-pressure compressed hydrogen gas nor cryogenic liquefied hydrogen can easily be handled at home." (Panasonic, p. 1)

This underscores the reality noted by this proposal and cast to further examination in the research justified by this proposal that any real implementation of an energy source transformation would be a considerable commercial, political, economic and practical endeavor.

All of that noted, it still remains that case that hydrogen has the potential to light the way for a better fuel economy, a more efficient society and a more pristine environment in Singapore. This is because at its root, hydrogen carries not just the potential for clean-burning but also for greater energy-storing capacity. According to the Fuel Cell & Hydrogen Energy Association (FCHEA) "hydrogen is the lightest gas and also the most energy-dense fuel per mass. One pound of hydrogen holds 52,000 Btu, three times the energy of a pound of gasoline. While hydrogen gas does not occur naturally on earth, it is easily produced in a variety of ways." (FCHEA, p. 1)

Conclusion:

There are a great many complexities that must enter into the process of transforming a nation's energy supply, including the creation of generators, power supply stations and sources for transmission to homes, businesses and public spaces.
And for Singapore, these complexities will surely apply to the proliferation of a hydrogen fuel source should this be deemed a suitable fuel alternative. The complexities noted above, however, are less issues of viability than they are issues concerning the need to invest more on a global level into the refinement of the process and the infrastructural accommodation of its evolution. Considering the negative impacts of petroleum-based fuel sources -- which are today quite well-known -- and considering the practical drawbacks of the increasingly scrutinized biodiesel model, it seems likely that the outcome of the research proposed here will be a full endorsement of the pursuit of the hydrogen fuel model.
