Can You Run a Generator on Hydrogen

Today there is a question: Can hydrogen be used to drive the generator?

Or: "Hydrogen is a clean energy source, with a high calorific value, and it seems to be the power of the generator." However, there are also concerns. Although hydrogen has advantages, its production, storage and transportation are not easy. The method of production, either electrolysis of water or reforming from fossil fuels, consumes a lot of electricity, and the latter involves the risk of carbon emissions.

As for storage, hydrogen requires high pressure or low temperature conditions, strict container requirements, and high cost. During transportation, special equipment is also required to prevent leakage. And hydrogen is flammable and explosive, and potential safety hazards cannot be ignored.

If you want to use hydrogen to drive generators, it must be properly resolved in terms of production, storage, transportation and safety. Otherwise, although the vision is beautiful, it will be difficult to achieve.
