Hydrogen is hard and expensive to attain, but a new catalyst could challenge some economic boundaries for the powerful energy source.
When it comes to alternative power sources for engines, to the mind of the general public, the fuel cell battery currently lags behind. Yet experts believe that hydrogen fuel cell cars will catch up. But how does the technology work? What are the pros and cons? Read on for the answers ...
Automotive industry experts have spent the last decade comparing the pros and cons of battery electric (BEVs) and hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), particularly medium- and heavy-duty trucks. Several insist that either one or the other is the transportation fuel of the future, leadi...
Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles get a lot of hype. But is it warranted? We explore the pros & cons and learn about a high-level research project aiming for answers.
The pros and cons of using hydrogen to power vehicles Hydrogen-powered combustion engines have the benefit that they convert the fuel and air directly into heat and motion, without the need for a separate electric motor, and they can be manufactured using similar techniques and materials as petro...
It seems all cars have pros and cons. I'm tempted to go get my 1985 VW diesel back out and keep driving it: much cheaper than hydrogen, electric and even hybrid, at least for now. Also doesn't have all this irritating junk like touchscreens and power windows and it actually fits in...
These gases are then recombined in the fuel cell to produce electricity. (The advantage of doing things that way, rather than using the Sun's energy directly, is that you can store up hydrogen in the daytime when the Sun's shining and then use it to drive the fuel cell at night.)...

As much as we'd like to believe that there can't be negatives to sustainable energy and power sources, everything has pros and cons. Advantages: Sustainable: Green hydrogen doesn't produce any carbon emissions either during its combustion or production, so long as electrification of the p...
