To get Hydrogen as a fuel to be used in electric vehicles, the hydrogen combines with oxygen giving of 2 electrons which powers the application. The waste product is H20 (water!). If you want a simple yes or no, then the answer is Yes, because you are converting Hydrogen into Water to produce electricity.

What is two ways hydrogen is used?
Two ways that Hydrogen is used is by,using it as a compound to make gas for cars,and by using it as a compound to make water.H2O.
Hydrogen-fuelled cars are being developed from these cars there is only one waste product what is it?
The only waste product of Hydrogen fueled cars is water. H2O
How is hydrogen converted to energy?
Hydrogen can be used as fuel (the same way as natural gas) for vehicles (cars, buses, ...etc) either in gaseous, liquid, or solid form (as metalhydride).Hydrogen can be used for electricity generation using hydrogen fuel cells.Hydrogen can be used (as natural gas) as heat source for kocking or heating purposes or industrial applications.
Why you can not used fuel of pure hydrogen?
Well you can, actually. We have cars that run solely on hydrogen; however, it is notoriously hard to store, or keep tanked, as it is highly explosive, and the moreso when it is compressed.
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!
Is using hydrogen as a fuel in cars?
Hydrogen can be used as fuel in carsbecause it don't cause any pollution
What is two ways hydrogen is used?
Two ways that Hydrogen is used is by,using it as a compound to make gas for cars,and by using it as a compound to make water.H2O.
What fuel will cars run on in the future?
Many alternative fuels, and there can also be air-powered cars, hydrogen powered cars, electric cars, and many more. The best part about using air, hydrogen, and electricity to power cars is that it produces 0 carbon emissions.
What is a challenge to using hydrogen as a fuel because hydrogen powered cars create less pollution than gasoline powered cars?
New fueling stations that can handle hydrogen would have to be built.
Are all hydrogen cars with fuel cell or they are some hydrogen cars without fuel cell?
There are no commercially available hydrogen fueled cars.
Are hydrogen cars also hybrids?
Hybrid simply means two types of propulsion. For example, the prius uses gasoline and electricity. A car that used coal and hydrogen would also be considered a hybrid. Cars that are propelled only using hydrogen are NOT hybrids.
Is there any danger in using hydrogen as fuel in cars?
Hydrogen tanks on the few experimental cars that are using the fuel tend to keep the fuel tank above the passenger compartment. Should a rupture occur in the tank, fuel would float away and above the problem. This makes hydrogen a fairly safe fuel.
Is there research on hydrogen powered cars nowadays?
yes, for sure. hydrogen cars are created today.
How do hydrogen fuel cell cars work?
Hydrogen fuel cell cars are simply electric cars with a different kind of battery. The hydrogen that is stored in a tank runs to the (in this example case) Proton Exchange Membrane, where the hydrogen nucleus, a proton, passes through the membrane, while the electrons must stay behind. To get back to the hydrogen atoms, which are already mingling with oxygen atoms, the electrons pass around the membrane and are captured in an electrical circuit and forced to do work (like run a motor) before they can be reunited with the hydrogen and oxygen. once reunited, the resulting chemical is just hydrogen and oxygen; water.
Hydrogen-powered cars create less pollution than gasoline-powered cars when driven. What might be a challenge to using hydrogen as a fuel?
Challenges to hydrogen as fuel include no distribution network, ie gas stations, and fear that the car co u l d explode like the Hindenburg.
How do you help climate change?
try and stop using cars that run on gas
What are the disadvantages about hydrogen?
Hydrogen is very flammable and can easily explode. Look back the Hindenburg blimp that used hydrogen. Hydrogen burns very cleanly leaving just water vapor of a byproduct. Using Hydrogen as a fuel for cars sounds great except that you need to make it by splitting water into Hydrogen and Oxygen. That uses up as much energy as the burning of Hydrogen releases. In use as a fuel for cars, you can imagine the explosion when a hydrogen tank bursts and ignites.
