Hydrogen The world’s most abundant element in the universe. Can be burned as fuel. Found in every molecule of living things and water.

Benefits of using Hydrogen as fuel Hydrogen doesn’t release pollutants associated with burning fossil fuels and biomass. When hydrogen is burned, it combines with oxygen to produce water vapor, a harmless byproduct.

How is Hydrogen gas produced? It can be produced by using electricity to split molecules of water. We may even be able to grow plants to produce hydrogen cost-effectively.

Fuel Cells Produces electricity by combining hydrogen fuel with oxygen from the air. When hydrogen and oxygen combines, electrical energy is produced and water is the only byproduct.

Benefits of Fuel Cells Can be fueled by anything that contains plenty of hydrogen. Includes natural gas, alcohol, and even gasoline.

Reasons we don’t use Hydrogen and Fuel cells The current methods that are used to produce hydrogen aren’t very efficient. They require lots of energy Very expensive Cause pollution A lot of hydrogen is needed to produce the same amount of energy as a tank of gasoline.
