hydrogen
the fuel cells convert hydrogen into energy using a converter and that energy is used to power the vehicle
The most important advantage of fuel cells is that their only byproduct is water, and of course discarded parts. The disadvantage is that the hydrogen used in them has to be electrolyzed from water or found in some other way. Because of the law of conservation of energy, fuel cells do not produce energy, they only store it.

do the math
Carbon and hydrogen
water energy
fuel cells converts chemical energy to eletrical power and the only waste product for fuel cells is water
They all produce static electricity.
The only byproduct of an oxygen and hydrogen fuel cell is water. There are other less common types of fuel cells, such as zinc and air cells, which do produce other byproducts.
Two reasons:Weight. Batteries are heavier per energy unit than fuel cells.Capacity. Fuel cells can store much more energy than batteries.As a bonus, the weight for the fuel cell fuel reduces the weight of another required consumable: water. The "exhaust" of fuel cells is pure water which astronauts can drink.
I wouldn't use the word fuel, but water is an intricate molecule in the mechanism that breaks down the carbohydrate glucose to produce cellular energy.
