State and federal governments enact laws and provide incentives to help build and maintain a market for hydrogen fuel and vehicles.
Fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) are powered by hydrogen.
Hydrogen can be produced from diverse domestic resources with the potential for near-zero greenhouse gas emissions.
Hydrogen is a promising fuel source that has the potential for near-zero greenhouse gas emissions. Once produced, hydrogen generates electrical power in a fuel cell, emitting only water vapor and warm air. Similar to other alternative fuel sources, hydrogen can be produced domestically.
While the benefits of hydrogen are substantial, there are currently no easy methods for storing it and its production costs are very high, making it a tough recommendation.
