Because of the rapid increase in the prices of the petroleum products and the concern about global warming, more and more people are now looking for alternative when it comes to the fuel that they would use for their vehicles. Currently, there are some green cars using electricity, renewable oils, and other eco-friendly materials so their vehicles could run. But aside from that, hydrogen production is now being considered as one of the options to have an improved gas mileage without hurting the environment at the same time.
Experts are now trying to study on how they could make the hydrogen car work. Perhaps it is already 40 percent away from unfeasibility and a couple more years before it reaches halfway to possibility. They were expecting that 8 to 10 years from now, the highways will be filled with drivers using hydrogen cars.
This would take a while since hydrogen should undergo processes in order for it to be functional for vehicles. This is when the hydrogen production takes place. From different sources such as fossil fuels and/or methane. However, it requires a lot of hydrogen power before a vehicle can utilize the potential of hydrogen for cars.
Although there are a lot of advantages using hydrogen as a renewable energy such as cost-effectiveness, less carbon dioxide release in the air and so many others this still has drawbacks that experts are trying to improve. As of the moment, there are still so many disadvantages if hydrogen cars will be used. Some of these shortcomings include low amount of energy for every unit volume, heavy weight for the tanks, how it could be properly stored, and the issue of filling or transporting the liquid or gaseous hydrogen in your cars. It is not just thorough research that is needed but huge investment at the same time.
