The initiative of using Hydrogen fuel as energy resource came from American government, scientist and environmentalist. The hydrogen fuel technology is based on simple chemical reaction between Oxygen and Hydrogen, the reaction generates energy. The resultant energy can be used as power a Car producing only water, not fumes.
The California state (America) was first to use hydrogen powered cars, currently few hundred automobiles are running in California. The cars have special storage to store Hydrogen in form of gas or liquid and process converts the hydrogen into electricity for the engine using a fuel cell. This project is still in early stage, with more research the technology will become more robust and commercially viable.
I believe in near future we will see more dependence upon alternate fuel source and one of them will be Hydrogen fuel. The governments and private industries are pumping lot of money in research to get clean, safe and environment friendly “Hydrogen fuel technology“.
Already car manufactures have started building pilot projects to get car out using Hydrogen fuel. Honda has set its goal for 2008, where as GM and Merceds has set deadline around 2010. More depends upon performance of initial cars, if technology is easy to use and cost per car is within the budget of people, then Hydrogen fuel may become one of the alternate fuels.
