1. Hydrogen is highly flammable. This can be very dangerous if hydrogen is used as a domestic fuel or in vehicles because it can combust instantaneously.

2. Hydrogen is a gas at room temperature. This makes the storage and transportation of hydrogen more difficult as compared to liquid fuels like petrol and liquified petroleum gas, because a gas fuel occupies a large volume (unless pressuried), cannot be poured and can be easily lost to the surrounding air by diffusion.

The lower energy consumption in this case means that these hydrogen generating systems could be even powered by wind turbines or solar panels, and with this the disadvantage of emitting carbon emissions would also be canceled. Also, the hydrogen produced during inexpensive or excess power production periods can be easily stored and later distributed to stationary fuel cell generators to supply electricity during peak demand periods.
hydrogen is highly combustible..hence direct contact can cause an immediate fibre
Much electricity is needed to generate the Hydrogen.

It is very difficult to store because it has very low density.

It is highly flammable ( more higher than gasoline).

It is not easy to set up a hydrogen fuel generating unit.

thats it even petrol and gasoline has more advantages than this and dont just see the dis advantage parts see the advantages it has.
scarcity of hydrogen..

What are the disadvantages of using water as a hydrogen fuel source?

It takes more energy to separate the hydrogen than we can get at the end.


What are the advantages and the disadvantages of a hydrogen fuel cell car over a hybrid car?

Advantages are very low emissions. Disadvantage is rarity of hydrogen fuel stations.


What are some advantages and disadvantages of hydrogen fuel cells?

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! :)

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.


What are the advantages and disadvantages of hydrogen as an alternative fuel?

Hydrogen is plentiful therefore cheep. It is also volatile if not handled properly. Comparatively, a hydrogen explosion can be close to a nuclear explosion damage wise.

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.


Is hydrogen compression possible?

Yes, hydrogen compression is possible and commonly used to store and transport hydrogen gas at high pressure. This is typically done using compressors that increase the pressure of the hydrogen gas, allowing it to be stored in pressurized tanks for various applications such as fuel cells or industrial processes.


What is the byproduct of hydrogen fuel cell?
