Billionaire Bill Gates calls hydrogen a Swiss Army Knife in the fight to curb rising greenhouse gas emissions that are slowly cooking the planet thanks to all the ways it can be used, from power generation, energy storage, cleaner production of fertilizer, ammonia and steel or as fuel for trucks, cars, ships and aircraft."
