A hydrogen fuel cell power plant is a stationary power-generation facility that uses hydrogen fed into fuel cell stacks to produce electricity and heat through electrochemical reactions rather than combustion, often achieving higher electrical efficiency and lower local air pollutants than conventional thermal power plants. These plants can range from a few megawatts to over 100 megawatts and may use hydrogen produced from various sources, including natural gas reforming or electrolysis powered by renewable energy, with the overall climate impact depending largely on the hydrogen production pathway.
