The Hydrogen, Fuel Cells & Infrastructure Technologies Program, part of the Department of Energy Hydrogen Program, works with partners to advance the development and widespread use of hydrogen and fuel cells.

Hydrogen and fuel cells are an important part of the comprehensive and balanced technology portfolio needed to address the nation's two most important energy challenges—significantly reducing carbon dioxide emissions and ending our dependence on imported oil. Hydrogen, an energy carrier, can be produced from abundant and diverse, domestic resources; fuel cells provide a clean and efficient way to use this energy for numerous applications. Together, hydrogen and fuel cells represent a radically different approach to energy conversion.
