What are the main sources of hydrogen today? Until clean hydrogen can be scaled up, producing hydrogen – which in itself is a zero carbon emission fuel or energy carrier – remains heavily dependent on fossil fuels. Today, there are three main sources of hydrogen: Natural gas When the methane in natural gas is heated,...
