Safe Hydrogen Operations

Hydrogen is the simplest element on earth—it consists of only one proton and one electron—and it is an energy carrier.

Hydrogen can store and deliver usable energy, but it doesn’t typically exist by itself in nature and must be produced from compounds that contain it.

Hydrogen can be produced through low-carbon pathways using diverse, domestic resources— through splitting of water using renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar, geothermal, and hydro-electric power, or nuclear energy; from biomass through biological processes; and fossil fuels, such as natural gas and coal, coupled with carbon capture and storage.
