The Hydrogen Basics
“Clean hydrogen” means hydrogen produced with a carbon intensity equal to or less than 2 kilograms of carbon dioxide-equivalent produced at the site of production per kilogram of hydrogen produced.
“Electrolyzer” is a hydrogen production method that separates water into hydrogen and oxygen atoms using electricity.
“Fuel cell” is a system (virtually identical to batteries) that electrochemically converts hydrogen and oxygen ( sometimes natural gas and oxygen) to electricity, heat, and water.
Hydrogen can be produced from many different sources. Click the link below to evaluate how many of these options are in your states. You will also find information about how to produce hydrogen from each of the sources.
