Energy In the energy sector sodium hydroxide is used in fuel cell production. Fuel cells work like batteries to cleanly and efficiently produce electricity for a range of applications including transportation; materials handling; and stationary portable and emergency backup power applications. Epoxy resins manufactured with sodium hydroxide are used in wind turbines. Water Treatment Municipal water treatment facilities use sodium hydroxide to control water acidity and to help remove heavy metals from water. Sodium hydroxide is also used to produce sodium hypochlorite a water disinfectant.
