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.

Why is a hydrogen fuel a bad thing?

Hydrogen fuel is not inherently bad, but there are challenges associated with its widespread adoption such as high production costs, lack of infrastructure for distribution, and the carbon footprint of current production methods. Additionally, storing and transporting hydrogen can be difficult due to its low energy density.


What is a bad thing about hydrogen fuel cells?

There are two problems with hydrogen fuel cells. One is that the cars that run off of hydrogen fuel cells are very expensive to make another thing is that hydrogen storage is not easy. The work and money it would take to put up hydrogen stations around the country for cars is too much to even consider it. Also another problem with hydrogen is te oil companies that don't wanna lose their business.

Is Hydrogen Fuel Cells supposed to be capitalized?

No. Hydrogen fuel cell is not a title. You would only capitalize hydrogen if it was at the beginning of a sentence, as I did with this one. Otherwise, you would say 'hydrogen fuel cell'.

What is fuel cell hydrogen?

The fuel cell hydrogen is one of the two gasses, that are created by the seperations of a water molecule H2O. A water molecule consists of H - hydrogen, and O - oxygen. A fuel cell hydrogen is the gas created by the separation of a water molecule with the help of a fuel cell.


Fuel-cell automobiles use gas as a fuel?

No, fuel-cell automobiles do not use gas as a fuel. They use hydrogen gas as a fuel source, which is converted into electricity to power the vehicle.
