When hydrogen is combined with oxygen in a fuel cell, the energy is released in the form of electricity, with clean water as the only emission. Working with gas instead of liquid has several advantages. Furthermore, by using water in the gas phase instead of the liquid phase, we do not need expensive installations to purify the water.
