Answer is: To reduce harmful emissions.

Hydrogen (symbol: H) is a chemical element with atomic number 1, which means it has one proton and one electron.

Hydrogen gas (H₂) is a colorless, odorless, tasteless andhighly combustible.

Hydrogen fuel is a zero-emission fuel, emits no waste products that pollute the environment.

The hydrogen reacts with oxygen to form water and releases energy:

2H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O(g) + energy.
