Did you know?

Electrification is one major tool for cleaning up our energy system, and moving beyond fossil fuels. But not everything is easy to electrify. Other sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels are needed, and hydrogen is a promising option. Acceptance of hydrogen as an option will depend on utilizing it where it’s needed for emissions reduction.
