Featured Image Description

Hydrogen to Power Infographic. Starting at the top middle are three circles. Inside each circle is a graphic representation of a blue solar panel with the yellow sun peeking over the top, a white hydroelectric dam with 3 blue water spillways, 2 white wind turbines spinning against a blue gradient background. In the middle of the circles is a yellow lightening bolt. Under the lightening bolt is a light blue circle with a blue water drop graphic. Below the water drop is a light green circle with a green H2 to the upper right of the green circle is an orange arrow that points to a light orange circle with an orange O. From the light green circle there are 4 downward pointing green arrows. They point to a green circle that has a grey factory coming out of it with 3 white tanks labeled H2 and two more downward arrows. Below that are four more downward pointed green arrows pointing to large blue T junction pipe. In the middle of the pipe is a blue flame with a white flame center. The pipe opens to the top, the left and the right. On the left are 5 circles. The upper left circle is the front of a green truck. The circle to it’s right two electricity towers drawn in dark blue. In the middle circle is an airplane leaving a gray runway with green on both sides. In the bottom left circle is an orange gradient circle with two silver cans pouring yellow.
