Its used for processing foods.

Hydrogen is used in massive quantities in the petroleum and chemical industries. In a petrochemical plant, hydrogen is used for hydrodealkylation, hydrodesulfurization, and hydrocracking, all methods of refining crude oil for wider use. In the food industry, hydrogen is used to hydrogenate oils or fats, which permits the production of margarine from liquid vegetable oil. Hydrogen is used to produce Methanol and hydrochloric acid, as well as being used as a reducing agent for metal ores.
