INTRODUCTION
Hydrogen cars are not only the future, they are here, now. When
hydrogen cars become the status quo, the U. S. can lessen its dependence
upon foreign oil, achieve lower prices at the fuel pumps and cut down on the
greenhouse gases that produce global warming. Hybrids and other green cars
address these issues to a large extent but only hydrogen cars hold the promise
of zero emission of pollutants. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates
that fossil-fuel automobiles emit 1 ½ billion tons of greenhouse gases into the
atmosphere each year and going to hydrogen fuel based transportation would
all but eliminate this.
The objective of this study is to know how the hydrogen car works and
to know the possibility of solving the environmental problem which is primarily
caused by common transportation vehicle burning fossil fuel for cars.
