Benefits
 

Hydrogen’s benefits today

  • Lowers sulfur in fuels and the corresponding sulfur dioxide, which causes acid rain
  • Enables catalytic converters to remove other pollutants from transportation fuels—such as nitrous oxide (NOx), particulate matter and volatile organic compounds (VOCs)—which cause respiratory problems
  • Helps conserve precious natural resources by enabling refiners to increase the amount of fuel that can be produced from every barrel of crude oil
  • Enables refiners to use all qualities of crude, regardless of how heavy or sour

Hydrogen’s benefits tomorrow

  • The cleanest burning and most efficient fuel
    – Can be used to produce electricity in a fuel cell for the cleanest option or in an internal combustion engine,
    where emissions are still significantly reduced compared with other fuels
  • Can produce electricity and electricity can produce hydrogen, creating an energy loop that is renewable and harmless to the environment
