(where batteries would be too heavy). Industrial Heat (making steel or cement).
Fuel cells and hydrogen production are the two halves of a clean energy loop. Think of hydrogen as the "fuel" and the fuel cell as the "engine" that turns it into electricity without burning anything.
Using steam to pull hydrogen out of natural gas (methane). If you capture the leftover CO2cap C cap O sub 2 , it’s "blue"; if the CO2cap C cap O sub 2 escapes into the air, it’s "gray." 2. Fuel Cells (Using the Fuel)
This combo is a massive deal for "hard to electrify" sectors. While batteries are great for cars, hydrogen is better for:
