Some pros of fuel cells are that it is: -efficient -produces no odor, no noise -reliable -environmentally friendly -is indefinetely renewable, as long as hydrogen is harvested Some cons of fuel cells are: - fuel cells are expensive -you have to harvest hydrogen, which is hard -The volume of the fuel cells are larger than the average internal combustion engine.
Fuel cells operate by combining hydrogen and oxygen without actual combustion as in gasoline engines. A catalyst separates the electrons and protons to combine the elements. (Some versions of fuel cells are high-temperature only.) Hydrogen gas
biomass, fuel cells, fusion, electrylosis
Hydrogen fuel cells deteriorate over time, and must be repaired or replaced. The speed at which they deteriorate is of some concern, as it may take as little as a few years for them to fail.
The advantages of using hydrogen fuel cells are that they are an alternative fuel to fossil fuels, like coal, oil and gas. Also, burning or reacting hydrogen with oxygen runs electric motors and it's only emission is water vapour. The disadvantages of using hydrogen fuel cells is that hydrogen does not occur naturally on Earth and thus is not an energy source. It takes a great deal of energy to extract Hydrogen from water. Hope this helps! :)
The Honda Clarity cost $300,000 each, but hydrogen fuel cells are expensive to produce and some are fragile.
Hydrogen can be used as fuel.
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.

Everything: nuclear power fuel (cells) water hydrogenation (ex: saturation of fats) All organic compounds
There are no commercially available hydrogen fueled cars.
