Hydrogen Economy is an economic structure in which hydrogen is widely used as an energy carrier to help address concerns about air pollution, global warming and energy security. Hydrogen can be produced from feedstock including fossil fuels and chemicals, but it is preferably be produced using renewable resources such as solar, wind, hydroelectricity and biomass, through electrolysis or other means to meet the vision of clean energy.

Hydrogen can be utilised in many different ways. Hydrogen combines with oxygen to form water and generates electricity in fuel cells. Fuel cells can be used to power devices from portable computers to automobiles and buildings. Hydrogen-powered internal combustion engines and turbines also make up potentially viable, low-emission motive systems. Hydrogen-rich gas can be directly used as a fuel gas for cooking and in boilers.
