Hydrogen Power

Humans burn fuels – lots of them. We burn fuels to power our vehicles and keep our homes warm. But there is a problem, the fuels we burn, such as oil and gas, release pollutants into the atmosphere like carbon dioxide. If only there was a cleaner fuel that released no pollution…

Burning is a chemical reaction called combustion. Combustion is an oxidation reaction because during combustion the fuel reacts with oxygen and oxides are produced. Let’s look at burning natural gas as an example. Natural gas is also called methane. It is the gas you might burn at home in your central heating and oven.
