Key Issues and Facts Analyzed  

 

Fuel cell is the only technology that can provide pollution-free energy for both transportation and electric utilities. Fuel cell powered cars can meet California’s current Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) standard.
 

In near future, fuel cells will work as efficient petroleum alternatives. The use of FCVs will reduce the global dependency on petroleum. For example, if just 20% of cars use fuel cells, US can reduce oil imports by 1.5 Million barrels everyday.

 

With the commercialization of FCVs, vast improvement in infrastructure will be required. Rate of infrastructure construction might emerge as a limiting factor.
