Understanding Hydrogen: The Future Fuel

One of the biggest challenges facing widespread adoption is how to produce it affordably at large scale. Currently, most is derived from natural gas through steam methane reforming, which produces carbon emissions. Other production methods include:

Electrolysis: Using electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen through an electrolyzer. Hydrogen is the electricity comes from renewable sources like solar or wind, this process is clean. However, electrolyzers are expensive and electricity consumption is high.
