 A fuel cell is an electromechanical cell that converts the chemical energy of a fuel
(often hydrogen) and an oxidizing agent (often oxygen) into electricity through a pair
of redox reactions. The hydrogen and the oxygen trigger the process.
 Hydrogen and oxygen are the sources of this kind of renewable energy.Don’t forget
that you can get oxygen from the atmosphere,So you only need to make electrolysis
to get hydrogen.
 Hydrogen fuel cells has been utilized in Scotland, England, Germany and Japan
 By 2020,we will have been developing this kind of energy in:

Power
Cogeneration
Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles
Portable Power Systems
 By converting chemical potential energy directly into electrical energy, fuel cells
release the “thermal bottleneck” (a consequence of the 2nd law of
thermodynamics) and are thus inherently more efficient than combustion engines,
which must first convert chemical potential energy into heat, and then mechanical
work.
 Direct emissions from a fuel cell vehicle are just water and a little heat. This is a
huge improvement over the internal combustion engine’s litany of greenhouse
gases.
 Fuel cells have no moving parts. They are thus much more reliable than traditional
principle that use motors.
 Hydrogen can be produced in an environmentally friendly manner. You need to
remember that oil extraction and refining is very damaging.
