Some industrial chemistry gives hydrogen as a by product fro example the electrolysis of brine (salt water) would give hydrogen. We can also electrolyse water to give hydrogen for fuel.

Why is hydrogen gas a good option for an alternative fuel to fossil fuel?

fossil fuel may be depleted soon. but hydrogen gas can me made available. also, if there are cheaper ways to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, then the better it is as water is available everywhere ----------------------------------------------------------------- Fuel cells produce hydrogen gas from fossil fuels, and renewable fuel sources. Hydrogen can also be made from other energy (electric) sources and electrolysis of water, but compressing and transporting it poses it's own problems. Despite this, the production of hydrogen as a fuel source uses more energy than can be gained from the hydrogen itself.


Why does the amount of hydrogen in a star decrease?

Because Hydrogen is the fuel of Stars, hydrogen consumed and Helium is formed.


Why is hydrogen a bad fuel?

It would be simplistic to claim that hydrogen is a bad fuel, but hydrogen does present certain complications as a fuel. Because it is a gas, it is not as easy to store as a liquid fuel such as gasoline. And depending upon how it is stored, it is more likely to explode, in the event of an accident, than gasoline would be. But in some ways hydrogen is an excellent fuel. The only combustion product of burning hydrogen is water. It is completely nonpolluting. And since hydrogen can be made from water (by electrolysis) there is in principle an unlimited supply, as long as you can generate the electricity needed to perform the electrolysis.
