In this issue investigation, the essay will be focussed on and discussing the beneficial and non-beneficial of fuel cells and associating it with fossil fuels. But first, you might query what fuel cells and fossil is? Well fuel cell is an electrochemical energy stratagem that converts hydrogen fuel as well as oxygen to produce electricity, heat and water. While on the other hand fossil fuel are the products fossils that are really old. For instance the animal and plant fossils but however, the three main sources of fuel are coal, natural gas and oil/petroleum. (Altenergy.org, 2014)
As it is known, there are many different types of fuel cells but however, they work slightly different in a way. Hydrogen …show more content…
Although it might require some hard work to separate and free it from the other elements, it’s also one of the abundant elements like no other elements. As it was stated before, contrasting any other fuel out there including fossil fuel generally, hydrogen fuel cell is renewable energy source. It is always available to be created but however, for the process to proceed a head, a present of fossil fuels is requires to discontinuity the water molecules from the oxygen and by going through this, hydrogen can be always available and re use again and again.
One of the most advantage of hydrogen fuel cell is they are very effective source of fuel and this means that it is better source of energy than any other fuel sources for example when you compare to petrol especially, it is so obvious that hydrogen fuel can travel more further than the vehicle with petrol considering that petrol oil is a carbon based fuel and also due to some addition of oxygen, it releases CO2 which the scientists believed is a greenhouse gases and causes global warming.

This is one of the issues because as this energy source is already being used to hybrid cars and however still not available to most of the people due how expensive it is. Another disadvantage is the storage of hydrogen unlike some of the fossil fuel product mainly the oil which can just transfer through pipeline and coal can as well load on a truck, is completely a different case for hydrogen because it pretty light and this make it hard to transport and not to forget that it very flammable gas as well.
