Hydrogen Energy: The Future of Green Energy

byDhruv Bhatia

Hydrogen is the simplest and most abundant element in the universe. Stars such as the sun primarily consist of hydrogen—the sun is essentially a giant ball of hydrogen and helium gas. Today, hydrogen is emerging as an important source of energy, and a replacement for fossil fuels, to meet the world’s ever growing demand for energy.

Hydrogen Energy: The Future of Green Energy

History of Hydrogen Energy Hydrogen energy was discovered in 1671 by Robert Boyle. In 1776, a British scientist named Henry Cavendish noticed that hydrogen is very flammable. Specifically, it quickly and violently undergoes a combustion reaction with oxygen. 2H2 + O2 -> 2H2O + he
