The Hydrogen Basics
“Clean hydrogen” means hydrogen which is produced through a process that results in a lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions rate of not greater than 4 kilograms of CO2e per kilogram of hydrogen.
“Electrolyzer” is a hydrogen production method that separates water into hydrogen and oxygen atoms using electricity.
“Fuel cell” is a system (virtually identical to batteries) that electrochemically converts hydrogen and oxygen ( sometimes natural gas and oxygen) to electricity, heat, and water.
Hydrogen can be produced from many different sources. Click the link below to evaluate how many of these options are in your states. You will also find information about how to produce hydrogen from each of the sources.
