There are currently no hydrogen powered cars commercially available. These cars would be far from green in any event because of the way we make hydrogen currently. Hydrogen is currently made by stripping hydrogen from natural gas and venting the rest of the material to the air.

How much does pure hydrogen peroxide the fuel cost?
Hydrogen Peroxide is not a fuel. It is an oxidising agent. Chemical formula H2O2.
How much does a hydrogen car cost?
The Honda Clarity cost $300,000 each, but hydrogen fuel cells are expensive to produce and some are fragile.
How does the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen to produce energy in a fuel cell differ from their interaction during the direct combustion of hydrogen and oxygen?
It is much easier to control the hydrogen and oxygen during direct combustion than during their reaction in a fuel cell.

How much less carbon dioxide do fuel cell cars emit?
Fuel cell cars use hydrogen to drive the fuel cell in the car which generates electricity. The only emissions are water and heat. No carbon dioxide at all. (The production of the hydrogen will have a carbon footprint, unless it was produced using renewable energy.)
How much do fuel cells cost?
One company commercially offers fuel cell power plants for about $3,000 per kilowatt.
How does a fuel cell store electricity?
Fuels cells do not actually store electricity. They generate it instead, using hydrogen and oxygen as 'fuel'. The oxygen is atmospheric, the hydrogen must be stored under pressure and delivered to the cell through piping. So it's hydrogen that is being 'stored', not electricity as in a battery. Inside the fuel cell, atoms of hydrogen and oxygen combine into water across a special membrane which produces electricity from the resulting energy of chemical combination of the atoms. The "exhaust" of a fuel cell is therefore pure water, making them very 'green' to operate. The problem is producing hydrogen is a green manner - much harder to do, unless you're a plant with chlorophyll that can do photosynthesis using sunlight, the ultimate green technology. Another problem is storing and distributing hydrogen gas under pressure. It is very dangerous in some ways, remember the Hindenburg!
How much does hydrogen cost per gallon at the?
Can't buy hydrogen by the gallon
What element is extracted from oil and natural gas?
Most of the hydrogen used by industry, as rocket fuel, and for fuel cell powered cars is extracted from oil and natural gas. This actually makes the supposedly "clean" fuel cell powered car pretty much as polluting as ordinary cars (as far as carbon emissions are concerned). It would be much better if the hydrogen was extracted by electrolysis of water using electricity from nuclear power, hydroelectric, wind, etc. sources instead!
