A data that was provided by U.S, environmental protection agency stated that as of the year 2006, half of the world's carbon pollution came from all kinds of vehicles that used regular gas (petroleum). The agency thinks if vehicles used fuel cells, then would be less carbon pollution and would help stop global warming.
Fuel cells produced by hydrogen are clean, quiet, efficient and reliable electric power. The fuel cells power capacity can range from a few kilowatts to a thousand kilowatts. These powerful fuel cells can produce power to office buildings,data centers, hotels, department stores and remote, off-grid telecommunication towers. This is very crucial in today’s world to all tech companies because owners can operate independently when there is a power disruptive impact. Some researchers from MIT speculate that in the long run using fuel cells will cause more damage to the environment. If there was a leakage of hydrogen it would rise into the atmosphere. This would potentially damage the ozone layer and layer that protects Earth from ultraviolet lights. Since water vapor (known as greenhouse gas) can hold a lot of heat, can hold a lot of heat, scientist are predicting that the clouds formed by these water vapors would reflect even more heat. One of the biggest concerns is the cost to produce fuel cells. Hydrogen, which is the main element of fuel cells, is not easily available at gas stations. Finding a way to store and distribute hydrogen is going to take time and a lot of money. |
