university's second campus. They are doing fantastic jobs. And let

that into usable energy, so we reduce our emissions. Using hydrogen
has become a cheap an efficient way of actually generating
electricity—again, from Tata's waste gases and renewable energy.
Because if they can actually get energy into water, split the water
into hydrogen and oxygen, hydrogen becomes energy and oxygen can be
used, actually, in water cleansing in water treatment plants, which
are also based in Tata, by the way...
