Why Hydrogen?

Hydrogen is the only energy source that can be produced, stored and used to create power. All with zero emission.

• Hydrogen is the most abundant element, comprising about 3/4 of the mass in the total universe. Hydrogen is found in the water that covers 70% of the earth's surface area and in all organic matter.

• Hydrogen is the simplest element in the universe. It is made up of one proton and one electron.

• Hydrogen is the lightest of all elements and gases, and is 14 times lighter than air. A gaseous hydrogen "spill" diffuses immediately into the air, and does not pollute the ground or groundwater.

• Hydrogen is colourless, odourless and non-toxic. It does not produce acid rain, deplete the ozone or produce harmful emissions. It is safe to be used in our cities. 

• Hydrogen has the highest combustion energy per pound relative to any other fuel, meaning it is more efficient on a weight basis than fuels used currently.

• Hydrogen offers 2-3 times more energy than most other common fuels. It combines readily with oxygen, releasing considerable energy as heat.

• Hydrogen is the cleanest fuel because unlike carbon-based fuels, hydrogen produces no harmful by-products upon combustion. Only energy and clean water are produced when hydrogen is combined with oxygen in a fuel cell.

Because of these properties the hydrogen fuel cell is the next choice in renewable energy.
