Key Points

Green hydrogen emits only water vapor when burned.
Investing in hydrogen stocks offers high growth potential but faces obstacles from high production costs and market volatility.
Leading companies like Air Products, BP, and Plug Power are investing to expand hydrogen use.

Hydrogen stocks are publicly traded companies seeking to capitalize on the enormous potential of hydrogen. This energy source emits no greenhouse gases when burned. The only waste product is water vapor, making it a cleaner energy source than fossil fuels such as natural gas, oil, and coal. These features make it a potential future source of lower-carbon energy.

Carbon Credits

Carbon credits are tradeable permits that grant permission to emit a specific quantity of carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases.

Similar to batteries: Hydrogen fuel cells work much like batteries, generating electricity through an electrochemical reaction. However, hydrogen fuel cells are refueled with more hydrogen rather than being recharged like a traditional battery.
Multiple current uses: Hydrogen fuel cells already have many uses. They're found in many motorized vehicles (e.g., cars, trains, buses, maritime vessels, and trucks) and also serve as a stationary power source.
Massive market opportunity: Hydrogen has vast potential as a replacement fuel. It could one day replace natural gas in the pipeline system to generate electricity at power plants and as a fuel source for our homes. Due to its potential, some forecasts peg the future value of the clean hydrogen market as high as $11 trillion.
Costs: Although clean hydrogen holds great promise as a potential emissions-free fuel source, it's costly to produce. It costs as little as $1.50 per kilogram to produce hydrogen from natural gas and between $3 and $12 per kilogram to produce clean hydrogen. The U.S. Department of Energy wants to reduce the cost of clean hydrogen to $1 per kilogram over the next decade to make it a more competitive fuel source.
