The cost of hydrogen is expected to fall sharply over the next decade and by 2030 hydrogen is expected to be price competitive with other low-carbon alternatives and some traditional energy sources.
Hydrogen, one of the most abundant element, has significant potential to reduce carbon emissions worldwide and create a greener future for us all.
Advantages of Hydrogen Fuel
- Zero Carbon Emissions: Hydrogen emits no carbon dioxide when it burns, a critical advantage in the fight against global warming and climate change.
- Renewable Production: Green hydrogen can be produced using renewable energy sources, making the energy cycle completely sustainable.
- Clean Combustion Product: The combustion of hydrogen produces only water vapor, which prevents air pollution and does not harm human health.
- Wide Application Areas: Hydrogen is a versatile energy source that can be used in various fields such as transportation, industry, power generation and heating.
- Energy Independence: Hydrogen can be produced using local renewable energy sources, reducing dependence on energy imports.
