While hydrogen engines have some advantages over natural-gas engines, the hydrogen fuel cell offers a true quantum leap in both emissions and efficiency. 

Hydrogen has widespread use in ammonia synthesis and welding, as rocket fuel, reducing agent (e.g. for fats, desulfurization of oil products, etc.). H2 is the promising fuel of the future hydrogen engines, fuel cells, and maybe even nuclear fusion.

Hydrogen may be the only link between physical energy from renewable sources and chemical energy. It is also the ideal fuel for modem clean energy conversion devices like fuel cells or even hydrogen engines.
