Hello again,

Nothing against hydrogen fuel cell powered cars...
Just read this on Wikipedia,
so the excerpt is from Wikipedia, courtesy of Wikipedia (No intentions to plagiarize any information, but just to lazy to finish the APA referencing).
(And although, Wikipedia is not the best of resources to rely on information, some of the information is relatable and requires further investigation)
Ahydrogen vehicleis a type ofalternative fuel vehiclethat useshydrogen fuelformotive power. Hydrogen vehicles include hydrogen-fueledspace rockets, as well asautomobilesand other transportation vehicles. Power is generated by converting thechemical energyof hydrogen tomechanical energy, either by reacting hydrogen with oxygen in afuel cellto powerelectric motorsor, less commonly, by burninghydrogen in an internal combustion engine.[2]
As of 2021, there are two models of hydrogen cars publicly available in select markets: theToyota Mirai(2014–), which is the world's first mass-produced dedicatedfuel cell electric vehicle(FCEV), and theHyundai Nexo(2018–). TheHonda Claritywas produced from 2016 to 2021.[3]Most companies that had been testing hydrogen cars have switched to battery electric cars;Volkswagenhas expressed that the technology has no future in the automotive space, mainly because a fuel cell electric vehicle consumes about three times more energy than abattery electric carfor each mile driven. As of December 2020, there were 31,225 passengerFCEVspowered with hydrogen on the world's roads.[4]
As of 2019, 98% of hydrogen is produced bysteam methane reforming, whichemits carbon dioxide.[5]It can be produced bythermochemicalorpyrolyticmeans using renewablefeedstocks, but the processes are currently expensive.[6]Various technologies are being developed that aim to deliver costs low enough, and quantities great enough, to compete with hydrogen production using natural gas.[7]
The benefits of hydrogen technology are fast refueling time (comparable to gasoline) and long driving range on a single tank. The drawbacks of hydrogen use are high carbon emissions when hydrogen is produced from natural gas, capital cost burden, low energy content per unit volume at ambient conditions, production and compression of hydrogen, the investment required in filling stations to dispense hydrogen, transportation of hydrogen to filling stations, and lack of ability to produce or dispense hydrogen at home.[
Thanks for reading.
Above article is not to discourage any thought processes or in offense to anyone's ideologies.
IMP- How is hyrogen produced? is it cost effective? and whether the hydrogen production process will lead to further emissions....IMP TAKEAWAY...i suppose
