What is hydrogen?
Hydrogen is a flexible, safe, transportable, and storable fuel. It can be used to power vehicles and create heat and electricity. 

What is it used for?

Hydrogen also has a number of uses including:

• As chemical feedstock, including to make ammonia for fertiliser.
• To create heat and electricity in homes for cooking and heating, or to be stored and used to produce electricity as a backup when there is not enough electricity available from other sources.
• To power vehicles. The advantages of hydrogen-powered vehicles compared to battery electric vehicles are faster refuelling times and the ability to travel longer distances, carrying larger loads before refuelling. Refuelling hydrogen vehicles demands a network of refuelling stations, like what exists now for petrol and diesel.
• To power remote places like mines and small regional communities in conjunction with renewable energy sources.
• To be exported, either for energy or for use as a chemical feedstock.
