Green Cars For Future

2 How do hydrogen fuel cell cars work?

3 Available car models that use a hydrogen fuel cell
The Hy-wire (Hydrogen drive-by-wire) is a concept car from General Motors originally introduced in January The car runs on hydrogen fuel cells The Chevrolet Equinox(2006) Fuel cell vehicle uses hydrogen for fuel with water as its only exhaust The Honda FCX Clarity(2007) is a hydrogen fuel cell automobile manufactured by Honda

4 Benefits of hydrogen fuel cell car?
It is a clean fuel with almost no emissions. The only emission coming out of a hydrogen car is water vapor, which is not harmful for the environment. There are no sulfurous and nitrogenous toxic emissions. Then there are no greenhouse gas emissions so no contribution to global warming simultaneously reducing the carbon footprint. Hydrogen cars will definitely boost the hydrogen economy, enhancing energy security and creating wealth's from savings for nations. The dependence on foreign oil will also reduce greatly.

5 Benefits of hydrogen fuel cell car?
Filling a vehicle takes just minutes and provides range comparable to gasoline vehicles. Having hydrogen for sale at a local station generates sales tax revenue for the city and makes a statement about a community’s commitment to cleaner transportation.

6 Dangers of hydrogen fuel cell vehicle?
Topping the list of concerns is hydrogen burns. In the presence of an oxidizer -- oxygen is a good one -- hydrogen can catch fire, sometimes explosively, and it burns more easily than gasoline does. Another concern is that hydrogen flames are nearly invisible. When hydrogen catches fire, the flames are so dim and hard to see that they're both hard to avoid and hard to fight. Liquid hydrogen is extremely cold. If it should escape from its tank and come in contact with skin it can cause severe frostbite

7 What’s in the future for hydrogen fuel cell cars?
Honda FCV Concept (2016) Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell (2015)

8 What’s in the future for hydrogen fuel cell cars?
Number of car makers are beginning to pay more attention to hydrogen technology. Honda said this week it would begin sales of its hydrogen car in Hyundai has started leasing a fuel cell version of its Tucson SUV in California. Ford, Daimler, Renault and Nissan are working to develop a joint fuel cell technology project.

9 What’s in the future for hydrogen fuel cell cars?
Earlier this year, the California Energy Commission awarded $50 million in grants to companies building 28 hydrogen fuelling stations next year. Honda announced today at the Los Angeles Auto Show that it will loan almost $14 million to hydrogen station provider First Element Fuels to help it build an additional 12 fueling stations in California for upcoming hydrogen fuel-cell cars. California intends to build 100 hydrogen fueling stations by 2020. ( _honda-to-loan-first-element- 14-million-for-hydrogen-fueling-stations

10 What’s in the future for hydrogen fuel cell cars?
Alberto Ayala, the deputy director of California’s Air Resources Board said “We think that all the indicators are there that this truly is the turning point for this technology” ( nment/2014/nov/21/toyota-hopes- to-recreate-prius-success-with- hydrogen-powered-mirai)
