Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, and the third-most common element on the Earth's surface.
It can be produced, among other ways, by splitting water molecules (which as a side-effect, also produces oxygen gas) in a process known as water electrolysis; by exposing metals to certain acids; or by breaking down hydrocarbons, including those found in urine or natural gas.

Is hydrogen a fossil fuel?
Hydrogen is not a fossil fuel because it is renewable. Sources of energy that are non-renewable are considered fossil fuels
What are the main sources of water?
Rain. Or the combination of hydrogen and oxygen molecules. Could you be a little more vague?
What is the odor of hydrogen?
A simple search on Google will show you a number of sources stating that the odor threshold to be around 10 parts per billion by volume (ppbv)
What is the compound of hydrogen and deuterium and tritium?
Hydrogen, deuterium, and tritium are all isotopes of hydrogen. Each has one proton. Hydrogen has no neutrons, deuterium has one neutron, and tritium has two neutrons. It is not a compound - it is an element.
Who created hydrogen?
how made hydrogen how made hydrogen how made hydrogen how made hydrogen
What are hydrogen's sources for the body?
Water (H2O) and carbohydrates (starch, sugar: (CH2O)n, with n>>5 ) are hydrogen sources for the humans.
What are sources of organic compounds?
carbon and hydrogen
Is hydrogen a bio-fuel?
No. Hydrogen is not derived from biological sources. It is produced by electrolysis of water.
Is hydrogen a fossil fuel?
Hydrogen is not a fossil fuel because it is renewable. Sources of energy that are non-renewable are considered fossil fuels
Can hydrogen be produced from renewable sources?
Yes, it is (96%) produced by coal and oil, but can be made from renewable sources like wind or solar power!
Are atoms renewable energy sources?
Yes. Hydrogen is. ( if it comes from water) NO Uranium is nor
What sources of energy could be considered alternatives to fossil fuels?
There are many sources of energy that could be considered alternatives to fossil fuels:Natural gasSolar powerFuel cells (hydrogen or other)
What are the main sources of water?
Rain. Or the combination of hydrogen and oxygen molecules. Could you be a little more vague?
What has the author Maria A Grech written?
Maria A. Grech has written: 'Hydrogen in the energy mix' -- subject(s): Hydrogen as fuel, Fuel cells, Renewable energy sources
What are the four sources of energy?
The sources of energy are divided into renewable, nonrenewable, primary, and secondary. Most energy comes from nonrenewable sources that include oil, coal, hydrogen, natural gas, electricity, and uranium or nuclear.
What are the sources of tidal power hydrogen fuel cells and ocean thermal energy conversion?
Alternative energy
Why is hydrogen gas a good option for an alternative fuel to fossil fuel?
fossil fuel may be depleted soon. but hydrogen gas can me made available. also, if there are cheaper ways to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, then the better it is as water is available everywhere ----------------------------------------------------------------- Fuel cells produce hydrogen gas from fossil fuels, and renewable fuel sources. Hydrogen can also be made from other energy (electric) sources and electrolysis of water, but compressing and transporting it poses it's own problems. Despite this, the production of hydrogen as a fuel source uses more energy than can be gained from the hydrogen itself.
