Stylized Text: Hydrogen.

FSEC has been engaged in hydrogen Research and Development (R&D) since 1983 and it is today one of the leading hydrogen research centers in the world. Though the technology is relatively new and very few commercial products exist, our research has generated knowledge to impact our education and public outreach programs.

What follows is the first bits of information that will highlight the many ways hydrogen can impact your life. Our first offering is a primer that discusses all the challenges and uses of hydrogen.
