Hydrogen is an energy source that emits zero greenhouse gases when burned. The only waste product is water vapor. That makes it a cleaner alternative energy source than fossil fuels like natural gas, oil, and coal.
The drawback to hydrogen as a fuel source is that we rarely find it in a gaseous form. And although we can produce hydrogen from a variety of sources, some of those methods emit greenhouse gases. On top of that, we don’t yet make it at the scale needed to be economically competitive with fossil fuels.
However, that could change in the coming years. Several companies are working hard to tap into the enormous potential for this potentially emission-free fuel.
Here’s a look at some of the leading hydrogen stocks.
