Using clean hydrogen as a main fuel source in industry would go a long way towards reducing our large carbon footprint. Clean hydrogen has many desirable attributes: it has a very high energy to weight density and when consumed, emits only water. For this reason, it is one of the strategies where the Biden administration plans to invest heavily. "One of the important ways to
