Answer;

Carrier; source


While hydrogen energy holds promise, the fact is that hydrogen is an energy carrier, not a primary energy source.


Step-by-step explanation;

Hydrogen can be considered as a clean energy carrier similar to electricity.

Hydrogen can be produced from various domestic resources such as renewable energy and nuclear energy.

It is considered as a secondary source of energy, commonly referred to as an energy carrier. Energy carriers are used to move, store and deliver energy in a form that can be easily used.

The right answer is energy carrier / not a primary energy source


Hydrogen is not strictly speaking a source of energy, but a vector, just like electricity: it is used to transport the energy produced by a primary source (oil, uranium) to the users. Used in a fuel cell, its only waste is water.
