Hydrogen
Hydrogen is an energy carrier that can be stored and used in a fuel cell to generate electricity. Fuel-cell electric vehicles commonly carry compressed hydrogen onboard and convert it into electrical power while driving. Hydrogen is not itself a primary renewable energy source. Its lifecycle emissions depend on how it is produced, processed, transported and dispensed. This distinction matters when comparing tailpipe emissions with full energy-system emissions. An FCEV can have zero tailpipe CO2 while the hydrogen supply chain still has associated emissions. I
