What is Hydrogen Energy?
Unrestricted Use
Public Domain
Rating
0.0 stars

In this Science 101 video, scientists Debolina Dasgupta and Nancy Kariuki describe the science, technology and applications of hydrogen energy. Hydrogen is the simplest chemical element, or type of atom, and an abundance of hydrogen exists within the water on our planet. It is naturally renewed by the water cycle, and when used as fuel, it releases no harmful emissions. For these reasons, hydrogen could play a major role in fostering a cleaner environment and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in sectors ranging from transportation to the grid.
