Hydrogen (H2) is colourless, tasteless and flammable gas. It is the mostly widespread chemical element in the entire universe. Usually, hydrogen forms various chemical compounds with other elements and is the main element of water, minerals and acids.
Hydrogen gas is considered as an important source of future power energy, in other words – an alternative for ordinary fuel. Gaseous or liquid hydrogen can be used in ordinary internal combustion engines and its burning causes no hazardous emissions to the environment. It is one of the most effective ways of solving global energetic and environment problems. Hydrogen gas performs an important role in producing various chemical compounds and processing metals.
One of the largest sources of hydrogen – water (H2O). Separation of hydrogen in performing water electrolysis is an environment-friendly process, however, the hydrogen received in this way accounts for barely 4% of hydrogen production. The major part of hydrogen (over 90%) is purified by applying reforming process, during which hydrogen is obtained from hydrocarbons (coal, oil, natural gas) compounds.

Safety
Hydrogen gas is non-toxic, however, if inhaled, it can cause the feeling of suffocation. Barely 4% concentration in the room can cause an explosion. In order to avoid health risks, it is recommended to download the material safety data sheet and observe provided instructions.
