Global Hydrogen Generation Market: Overview

Hydrogen is a chemical element found on the earth, which is clean, efficient, and most versatile in nature with zero emission carrier of energy. It is not present in its molecular form but is available in plenty amounts. It is nonmetallic, colorless, non-toxic, odorless, highly combustible and tasteless diatomic gas.

Water is the primary raw material used in the production process of hydrogen generation, which is a very environment-compatible process. It is the most renewable fuel that can be manufactured and transformed into electricity. It can be stored in various forms such as metal hydrides, gaseous, and liquid. It can transform into other energy forms via chemical conversions, catalytic combustion, and hydriding.

Hydrogen possesses easy transportation, high efficiency, low boiling point and lightweight making it ideal for industrial use. It is an environment-friendly fuel as it produces pollution-free combustion products.
