not produced naturally as are fossil energies, but as the product of converting other resources. The H 2 used in industry is mainly produced by converting natural gas (CH 4 ), which has the downside of emitting CO 2. Currently, hydrogen is considered a carrier of energy rather than a source—i.e., 15, EGU2013-5553.
