Overview / Open Energy Ontology / Class - hydrogen
Label: hydrogen

Definition:
Hydrogen is a portion of matter with the chemical formula H2. It has a gaseous normal state of matter. As it can be oxidised it can be used as a fuel.

Sub classes:
Definition:
Abated steam reforming hydrogen is hydrogen that is output of a steam reforming process which is followed by a carbon capture and storage process.

Definition:
Electrolytic hydrogen is hydrogen that is a physical output of a water electrolysis process.

Definition:
Fossil hydrogen is hydrogen with fossil origin.

Definition:
Fossil steam reforming hydrogen is hydrogen that is produced from a fossil combustion fuel in a steam reforming process which is not followed by a carbon capture and storage process.

Definition:
Steam reforming hydrogen is hydrogen that is a physical output of a steam reforming process.

Definition:
Synthetic hydrogen is hydrogen with synthetic origin.

Back to the super classes:
Definition:
A portion of matter is an aggregate of material entities that have a state of matter.

Editor note:
Portions of matter describe mass nouns like e.g. water, air and fuel. Mass nouns are uncountable, but portions of these can be quantified, like 1 glass of water, 1 m³ of air or 1 barrel of fuel.
