Hydrogen would in principle make a good fuel. Combustion with air is exothermic yielding water (mainly) and carbon dioxide and sulfur oxide emissions typical of hydrocarbon based fuels would be avoided. The main issue is storing enough on board to get a reasonable range from a vehicle. Lots of different technologies have been proposed.

What countries are using hydrogen as a fuel?
Iceland
What is the obstacle to using hydrogen as a fuel?
It is extremely volatile.
What is the obstacle to using hydrogen as fuel?
Hydrogen is extremely explosive and very light. There are thus sfaety and handling issues.
Is using hydrogen as a fuel in cars a chemical change?
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 substance combines with hydrogen so it can be used as a fuel?
Hydrogen can be used as a fuel by itself.Hydrogen combines with carbon to form hydrocarbons, many of which make good fuels. Blends of some these are known as petrol or gasoline; other blends are known as diesel fuel; still another is kerosene or paraffin.Hydrogen combines with nitrogen to form hydrazine which can be used as rocket fuel.There are other possibilities.
Which is a byproduct of using hydrogen fuel?
The only byproduct of using pure hydrogen as a fuel is water, often in vapor form.
What are the possibilities of hydrogen fuel?
I'm not sure what you mean by that but if I had to answer, it would be an explosion. Or used for rockets :P
Is using hydrogen as a fuel in cars?
Hydrogen can be used as fuel in carsbecause it don't cause any pollution
What countries are using hydrogen as a fuel?
Iceland
What is the obstacle to using hydrogen as a fuel?
It is extremely volatile.
What fuel is the sun using to release energy?
Our sun, Sol, uses hydrogen for fuel.
Is it possible to get hydrogen fuel from biomass?
Yes. However, it is not yet economically practical, as it takes more energy to convert the biomass into hydrogen than we can get from using the hydrogen for fuel.
Fuel cells produce energy from hydrogen by?
the fuel cells convert hydrogen into energy using a converter and that energy is used to power the vehicle
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.
Why are people worried about using hydrogen as a fuel?
Because it is highly explosive
Why is hydrogen a renewable fuel?
Hydrogen is not a renewable fuel. It is a secondary energy source (or an energy carrier) that could be produced using another primary energy source. Hydrogen could be produced using either renewable primary energy source (e.g. solar energy), nuclear energy, or by using fossil fuel (e.g. natural gas)
What is the obstacle to using hydrogen as fuel?
Hydrogen is extremely explosive and very light. There are thus sfaety and handling issues.
