Why Hydrogen?​

  • Hydrogen – a clean, colorless, and energy-dense gas – is the most abundant element in the universe and can be produced from water or fossil fuels.
  • As global electricity demand is expected to rise over 50% by 2050 and the energy landscape continues to evolve, hydrogen is gaining traction as a flexible fuel to reduce GHG emissions.
  • It enables long-duration storage, supports grid stability, and powers heavy-duty transport, bridging the gap between intermittent supply and growing demand.

How Can Hydrogen Improve My Operations?

  • Produces significantly less NOx and GHG emissions.
  • Hydrogen can be blended into natural gas with the proper configurations to help reduce on-site emissions.
  • Versatile applications in transportation, industrial, and power generation.

Hydrogen’s True Colors: A Key to Defining Carbon Intensity

Often referred to as a “clean-burning” fuel, hydrogen is the most abundant chemical substance in the universe because its combustion generates near-zero greenhouse gas emissions at the tailpipe. It’s also colorless, odorless and burns with a near-invisible flame. So why does nearly every Google search or news story about hydrogen turn up terms like “green,” “blue” and even “pink”?
