Deteriorating air quality is a growing concern in most countries, including Nepal. Many factors are responsible for changing air quality and this varies from one location to another.
This publication argues that the harnessing of hydrogen and fuel cells will spawn a new economic revolution in the 21st century. The new energy regime has the potential to be sustainable, non-polluting, and to provide a decentralized and democratic source of power.
