When combusted, hydrogen produces water vapor, not greenhouse gas emissions. It can also be safely produced, transported, stored, and blended into the existing gas grid to help decarbonize pipelines.
Fuel cell electric vehicles are powered by hydrogen. Visit the U.S. Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center website to learn more about how these vehicles work.
These vehicles have a number of benefits that make them an attractive option for the transportation sector. In addition to being zero emissions, they have a range of about 400+ miles before needing to be refueled, offer a quieter driving experience than diesel, and refuel in comparable time to diesel.
