The port of houston is one of the busiest ports in the country. the u. s. department of energy gave this port $3.4 million to operate twenty heavy-duty hydrogen hybrid fuel cell powered trucks around the port. which is the most likely reason the u. s. government made such an investment?

Answer is: To reduce harmful emissions.

Hydrogen (symbol: H) is a chemical element with atomic number 1, which means it has one proton and one electron.

Hydrogen gas (H₂) is a colorless, odorless, tasteless andhighly combustible.

Hydrogen fuel is a zero-emission fuel, emits no waste products that pollute the environment.

2H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O(g) + energy.
