Hydrogen can be set up to react with oxygen to produce water
few of of the pollutants fossil-fuel burning vehicles emit are:
Carbon Dioxide C02
Carbon Monoxide CO
Nitrous Oxide
Ozone

Fossil Fuel automobiles emit in the yearly
1.5 billion
tons of greenhouse gases
3. • The Hydrogen Highway
– World’s first hydrogen
refueling station opened in
Iceland in 2003
– California & Florida have
both approved funding
4. • Major car companies today are focusing on using fuel cells,
instead of hydrogen internal combustion engines because it
is thought that fuel cells will be more efficient and produce
power in even cleaner ways.
• Fuel cells convert hydrogen and oxygen into water, and
along the way produces electricity.
7. • Zero emissions (pure water is produced)
• No dependence on foreign oil
• Ability to harvest solar and renewable energy
• Not many moving parts in a vehicle (more mileage before
things start breaking)
• Hydrogen weighs less than gasoline (vehicles would not need
as much energy to move)
