Hydrogen Pathways

Hydrogen is the most abundant element on earth, but it is always bound to something else. It’s found in common molecules like water, natural gas and plant material. Producing hydrogen means unlocking the chemical bonds in these molecules.

The illustration below shows two common hydrogen pathways and provides information about well-to-wheels energy efficiency, greenhouse gases and criteria pollutants when the hydrogen is used in a fuel cell vehicle.
