It’s no surprise that hydrogen is getting a lot of attention from the entire industry.

Hydrogen itself is nothing new, but the way the industry wants to produce and use it is significantly changing. This is obviously all driven by COP26 and the commitments to limit global warming because hydrogen is a clean gas as opposed to fossil fuels.
