Hydrogen has been described as the “Swiss army knife” of energy because it plays a key role in several sectors where there are limited or no viable alternatives (including in applications where electrification is particularly challenging or costly).
Hydrogen is often seen as a key fuel for a cleaner future because it burns without producing carbon dioxide. However, storing and transporting hydrogen is not easy. It usually requires very ...

Hydrogen is a chemical element; it has the symbol H and atomic number 1. It is the lightest and most abundant chemical element in the universe, constituting about 75% of all normal matter.
The earliest known chemical property of hydrogen is that it burns with oxygen to form water; indeed, the name hydrogen is derived from Greek words meaning ‘maker of water.’
On earth, hydrogen occurs naturally combined with other elements in liquids, gases, or solids. Hydrogen combined with oxygen is water (H 2 O). Hydrogen combined with carbon forms different compounds—or hydrocarbons—that are found in natural gas, coal, and petroleum.
Hydrogen energy refers to the use of hydrogen as a clean and versatile energy carrier which is capable of storing, moving and delivering energy produced from diverse sources such as water, fossil fuels or biomass to power vehicles, generate electricity and heat buildings.
