Hydrogen Economy What is Hydrogen? Hydrogen is a natural chemical element. In nature, it exists as a molecule. That means that it is made up of two hydrogen atoms, which is why its chemical formula is H ₂ . It is perhaps best known as one of the elements that makes up water. The other is oxygen. That is why water’s chemical formula is H 2 O. In fact, it is naturally linked to other elements. That is, it does not exist on its own. Hydrogen is the simplest and most abundant element on earth—it consists of only one proton and one electron. Hydrogen can store and deliver usable energy, but it doesn't typically exist by itself in nature and must be produced from compounds that contain it. Hydrogen gas has remarkable characteristics including colourless, tasteless and invisible that make it hotly pursued. It can also be transformed into a renewable, non-polluting and zero emission energy resource. It’s considered the cornerstone of the new energy econom...
