| Hydrogen Use and Safety |
| |
Hydrogen, the lightest and most common element in the universe, has been safely used for decades. In the United States alone, more than nine million tons of hydrogen are produced annually and used to make products like gasoline, glass, margarine, soap, vitamins, peanut butter, toothpaste and silicon chips.

| How a Fuel Cell Works |
| |
A fuel cell is an electrochemical device that produces electricity efficiently, silently and without combustion. Unlike a battery, a fuel cell does not require recharging. It will produce electricity as long as hydrogen fuel is supplied. READ MORE |

| Where Does Hydrogen Come From? |
| |
For a fuel cell to operate, it needs hydrogen as fuel. When hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) are supplied, the fuel cell generates electricity to power the vehicle’s electric motor. Fuel cells use oxygen found in the air around us. Oxygen makes up about 20% of the air we breathe. READ MORE |
