- Fuel Cells: Providing Clean, Reliable Power
- Fuel cells are self-contained, power-generation devices that are able to produce reliable electricity for residential, commercial, industrial and transportation applications. A fuel cell can convert hydrogen directly into electricity that can be used to power an electric car, for example, or a home. In fuel cells, the use of hydrogen...
