A. Further information about Fuel Cell can be found in our Links Page , Basics Page and Companies Page . Some companies are involved in developing microsized fuel cells. A. Yes, a fuel cell can be used in cars. Infact, currently many car manufacturers are developing fuel cell based cars and buses. Fuel cells are considered an excellent alternative energy resource from the environmental point of view.
Fuel cells are quiet and produce negligible emissions of pollutants.
Different types of fuel cells have varied efficiencies. The primary fuel source for the fuel cell is hydrogen which can be obtained from natural gas, coal gas, methanol, and other fuels containing hydrocarbons. With a proper system design, fuel cell can be as safe as IC engines used in many applications. The fuel cell system using hydrogen as fuel emits non-pollutants such as water. The other fuel cells using gasoline, natural gas, coal gas or other fuels containing hydrocarbons could emit carbon-dioxide and nitrogen and their oxides.
