Recently, there has been so much attention highlighting hydrogen fuel cell research in the automotive industry that it is easy to forget how prevalent hydrogen is in other industries today. Telecommunications, for one, is utilizing hydrogen fuel cell technology as a power source. The use of stationary hydrogen fuel cell power is one of the first steps in the wider use of hydrogen. Using hydrogen fueled power supplies are safe, energy efficient and can provide benefits to the environment, energy security and the economy.

Sprint is deploying and testing other alternative energy solutions as well, such as wind and solar. It should not be forgotten that wind and solar can be used to generate hydrogen as a fuel—storing renewable energy when the wind is blowing and the sun is shining for later use or perhaps emergencies. Storing solar and wind energy as hydrogen can allow Sprint and other telecommunications companies to use that power more reliably, when it is needed most. And the power will still be emission-free! Renewable and hydrogen make a great combination.
