Advantages:

  • Emits only water vapour, assuming there is no leakage of hydrogen gas
  • It can store up to 3x as much energy as conventional natural gas.

Disadvantages:

  • Leakage of H gas (see above) will have detrimental impacts on the stratosphere (California Institute of Technology)
  • Production of hydrogen gas currently relies on natural gas and electrolysis and to replace all the vehicles would require 10x as much as currently is used
  • Storage is really tough because hydrogen is such a low density gas
  • Distribution and infrastructure needs to be refurbished to cope with hydrogen, which can metals by making them brittle
  • Use in fuel cells requires catalysts, which usually require a component metal (most often platinum). Platinum is extremely rare, expensive and environmentally unsound to produce.

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.
