Why Hydrogen?

Electricity alone can’t replace all the functions of fossil fuels.  In some cases, we need molecules. 
For example:

​

• Fast energy transfer to vehicles 

  • 3 minutes to fuel instead of 20 minutes or more to charge batteries

• Natural Hydrogen is a fantastic new source of low-cost, 100% greenhouse-gas-free energy 

  • The USGS estimates Natural Hydrogen could exceed all the known natural gas reserves

• Higher energy density and lower weight for aviation

• Can be used to remove oxygen from iron ore instead of coke

  • Creating water (H2O) instead of creating carbon dioxide (CO2)

• Creating the high temperatures needed for glass and cement making
