Why Hydrogen?
Hydrogen is an energy carrier, not an energy source, meaning it can store and deliver energy in a usable form. As an energy carrier, hydrogen offers several advantages -

• It can be produced using abundant and diverse domestic energy resources, including fossil fuels, such as natural gas and coal; renewable energy resources, such as solar, wind, and biomass; and nuclear energy. This diversity of energy supply would mean we do not need to rely on any single energy resource or on foreign sources of energy.
• Producing hydrogen from renewable and nuclear sources, and from fossil fuel-based systems with carbon sequestration, yields near-zero greenhouse gas or criteria emissions.
• Hydrogen can power all sectors of the economy - transportation, power, industrial, and buildings.
