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
