The direct pollution of a hydrogen-powered car is just water vapor, which is very clean. However, the TOTAL pollution of a hydrogen-powered car is higher than a fossil-fuel powered car. Pure hydrogen is difficult to obtain here on Earth. You need to make the hydrogen by breaking down other compounds that contain hydrogen, and that often takes a lot of either electric energy or natural gas. The electricity needed to break down water into hydrogen and oxygen generally comes from coal or natural gas, both fossil fuels.
So, hydrogen cars or electric cars are just a way of sending the pollution someplace else, not eliminating it completely.

Why do you use fossil fuels for energy?
they do not produce pollution
Why are there a lot of pollution?
because of fossil fuels. they produce excess gas
Is the role of fossil fuels in the carbon cycle?
The role of fossil fuels in the carbon cycle is to produce carbon dioxide. Fossil fuels are considered to be the highest contributors to pollution of the environment.
Why does electricity cause pollution?
it doesn't, but fossil fuels used to produce electricity do
What are the fossil fuels that do not cause pollution?
There isn't any fossill fuels that don't cause pollution. All fossil fuels cause pollution.
Why does burning wood and burning fossil fuels produce the same substance?
The main content is the same. Of the wood is carbon and hydrogen, and that of fossil fuels is hydrogen and carbon. So when wood and fossil fuels are burnt the Carbon combines with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, and the hydrogen combines with oxygen to produce water (H2O). C+O2--> CO2+CO
Fossil fuel pollution?
It's pollution from Fossil Fuels.
Why is it goood to have nuclear power staions?
They don't produce pollution like burning fossil fuels does
Why does burning wood and burning fossil fuels produce similar pollutants?
Burning fossil fuels and burning wood produce similar pollutants because wood and fossil fuels are both consist of hydrogen and carbon. Carbon dioxide is produced when burning wood and fossil fuel.
What is a sentence with the word fossil fuels?
Eventually, fossil fuels will run out.Fossil fuels cause a lot of pollution.
Water pollution can occur from burning fossil fuels due to?
Water pollution can occur from burning fossil fuels due to the acid rain. Fossil fuels will pollute the atmosphere which will result into acid rain.
How does fossil fuels make pollution?
Fossil fuels let out toxic gases like carbon dioxide. When this mixes with oxygen it causes pollution.
