hydrogen fuel cell
Clean energy converter
A hydrogen fuel cell generates electricity through a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, producing only water as a byproduct.
Unlike batteries, fuel cells don't store energy—they convert it continuously as long as fuel is supplied.
The technology powers vehicles, spacecraft, and backup generators: Hydrogen fuel cells offer zero-emission transportation.
Often shortened to fuel cell.
