Understanding Hydrogen and Fuel Cells

This project – Texas Hydrogen 101 – is part of a national effort supported by the U.S. Department of Energy to become better informed about hydrogen.  Toward this end, HARC is conducting workshops and briefings targeting major Texas metropolitan areas.  Hydrogen is one of the options often mentioned for transportation fuels and energy technologies and Texas is already one of the biggest hydrogen producers in the nation.  As we move forward, we need to have a basic knowledge of this energy option.

•  Do you know how most hydrogen is produced?
•  Do you know that hydrogen is not an energy resource like coal or natural gas?
•  Do you know how fuel cells work and how they are being used today?

If you want to know more about hydrogen and fuel cells, sign up for an upcoming workshop.

NOTE:  DOE's web-based course on hydrogen safety is an excellent resource for information on hydrogen - basic properties, comparisons with other fuels, fuel cells, hazards, and safety.  It contains videos, supporting documents, and links to essential hydrogen safety information.
