Hydrogen fuel is a zero-emission fuel when burned with oxygen, if one considers water not to be an emission. It often uses electrochemical cells, or combustion in internal engines, to power vehicles and electric devices. It is also used in the propulsion of spacecraft and might potentially be mass-produced and commercialized for passenger vehicles and aircraft.

Hydrogen lies in the first group and first period in the periodic table, i.e. it is the first element on the periodic table, making it the lightest element. Since hydrogen gas is so light, it rises in the atmosphere and is therefore rarely found in its pure form, H2.[1] In a flame of pure hydrogen gas, burning in air, the hydrogen (H2) reacts with oxygen (O2) to form water (H2O) and releases energy.

2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(g) + energy

Since Liquid hydrogen delivers a specific impulse about 30%-40% higher than most other rocket fuels it is used a liquid rocket fuel along with liquid oxygen.
