Fuel cells becoming popular in the auto industry
Hydrogen fuel cells are quickly becoming a staple in the auto industry. These energy systems are capable of generating large amounts of electricity using hydrogen gas. The gas is generated by chemical processes occurring within the fuel cells themselves. The processes produce hydrogen gas, oxygen, electricity and water vapor, but nothing more, making fuel cells a truly clean energy system. Fuel cells have been targeted by the auto industry because of new regulations companies are beginning to face concerning fuel efficiency. These regulations are cropping up all over the world.
