Hydrogen, the fuel of the future?
Hydrogen represents the most innovative energy proposal of alternative fuels, with respect to fossils and emitters of polluting gases, greenhouse gases and with great potential as an energy vector. However, it is a difficult fuel to obtain, and its processing from an economic point of view is not economically profitable, entails exorbitant costs because it is not found in isolation in nature.
