It catches fire too easy. In the 1930s'; the German (Nazi) blimp, Hindenburg, was filled with flammable hydrogen gas. As it approached a mooring mast in New Jersey, static electricity caused the blimp to explode into a ball of flame, which quickly burned the blimp to the ground, and it killed many people. The was the end of the hydrogen blimp industry. Blimps today use helium, which is not flammable.
it is extremly flamable and it would explode
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.
Because Hydrogen is the fuel of Stars, hydrogen consumed and Helium is formed.
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.
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.
Hydrogen
because we are stupid
well there is a hydrogen based fuel in which the core element is hydrogen unlike crude oil which has carbon instead scientists plan to make it in about three years.

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.
There are no hydrogen powered cars being sold to the general public. Storage and fueling locations, and the potential hazard of the fuel, are the biggest hurdles.
Water is the benefit of a hydrogen fuel cell ;)
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'.
Hydrogen fuels could be an alternative if we come to a point where we can solve all the dangerous problems with hydrogen. Hydrogen fuels would be a good alternative but at this point and time hydrogen is way to unstable, so for now electric and ethanol are the way to go for an alternate fuel source.
no because hydrogen fuel cells are renewable
The definition of a fossil fuel is fuel consisting of the remains of organisms preserved in rocks in the earth's crust with high carbon and hydrogen content. Oil is actually being debated as to whether or not it is a fossil fuel. Most scientists support that it is a fossil fuel and we need to conserve it.
Hydrogen can be used as fuel.
There are no commercially available hydrogen fueled cars.
