Hydrogen is an excellent fuel for many
reasons. Hydrogen is:
carbon-freeexceptionally cleanlighter than airodourlessnon-toxicsafe to produce, store and transporteasy to store in large amountseasily produced from many different sources

Where Does Hydrogen Come From?
There are numerous possible sources for producing hydrogen including:-
Electrolysis of water
Reforming organic substances
Pyrolysis

HOW SAFE IS HYDROGEN?
o safer than other flammable fuels such as gasoline or natural gas.
o the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is developing international safety standards.
o Hydrogen has been safely produced, stored, transported, and used in large amounts in industry.

WHAT IS A FUEL CELL?
A fuel cell produces electricity through a chemical reaction, but without combustion
Fuel cells operates much like a battery, except they don’t require electrical recharging.
It’s an electro-chemical energy conversion device that produces electricity, water, and heat.

HYDROGEN FUEL:- Hydrogen is
one of two
natural
elements that
combine to
make water.
Hydrogen is
not an energy
source, but an
energy carrier.

Challenges: Availability.
Vehicle Cost & Availability.
Onboard Fuel Storage.
conclusionHydrogen is the key to bright future.
It able to compete with oil in a global
market, at a fraction of the price.
The fuel that will guide us through the
twenty-first century and beyond for as long
as the sun continues to shine and there is
someone willing to reap its treasure.
