Hydrogen will simultaneously reduce the emission of greenhouse gases and other pollutants while providing a clean source of energy.
Once hydrogen costs are reduced, global demand will reach 275 million metric tons per year by 2050.
As the lightest—and most abundant—of all the elements, a hydrogen atom is simply a single proton in a nucleus with a single electron orbiting the nucleus.
Despite its size, hydrogen is a desirable alternative to fossil fuels because it is three times as energy-dense as gasoline. A pound of hydrogen contains far more energy than a pound of anything else in the universe, even dynamite. By eliminating the high cost of producing hydrogen, we are increasing the value of a cleaner and more efficient energy source.
