Hydrogen is an energy carrier, which is used to move, store, and deliver energy produced from other sources. Hydrogen can be produced from a variety of domestic resources, such as natural gas, nuclear power, biomass, and renewable power like solar and wind. This energy can be used to power homes, businesses, or vehicles.
