Disadvantage of fuel cells

05.04.05 (10:01 am) [edit]

Fuel cells have several advantages. However, in this article we would discuss about the disadvantage of fuel cells. The first and foremost disadvantage of fuel cells is:

1. Fuel storage
Due to low density of the hydrogen, it is difficult to store enough hydrogen in the car, which could enable the car to go more then 100 miles. Hydrogen could be stored as slush or hydrogen in solid form. This is a efficient way of hydrogen but the metals used to make the containers are very expensive and heavy.

2. Hydrogen is expensive
Hydrogen is costly as compared to gasoline.

3. Availability or fuel
Very little refueling stations are there in the present times for refueling of hydrogen and is not reachable for all the people.

4. Production of Hydrogen fuel
The production of hydrogen has many economic and environmental disadvantages. One of the processes to create hydrogen is:
CH4 + H2O = 3H2 + CO
The production of carbon monoxide is fatal. CO is poisonous gas.

5. Cost of infrastructure
High cost is involved in creating the infrastructure or refueling stations for hydrogen.

You are correct to say that fuel cells are currently unreasonable as a solution. A better solution today is hydrogen engine cars.

The first and foremost disadvantage of fuel cells is:

1. Fuel storage
Storage is a concern, but several firms have solutions coming out soon that will cure this.

2. Hydrogen is currently expensive.
There are many companies working on bringing the price of hydrogen production down.

3. Availability or fuel
It is true that there are very few stations currently.. BUT you can purchase a home fuel station and fill up at home!

4. Production of Hydrogen fuel
Hydrogen Labs has several Hydrogen production solutions that do not create any emissions. www.hydrogenlabs.com

5. Cost of infrastructure
This is dropping rapidly!
