The near future

Although fuel cells are a newborn energy source, as you can see in the video, it is likely to be an important source in a near future. Nowadays fuel cells cannot compete with the internal combustion engine but the rising prices of oil and pollution make this clean energy an important source to consider.

Different countries have started to introduce fuel cell stations and the're doing really well. The first station was built in Reikjavik, Iceland in 2003 but since then other countries have implemented these refueling stations into their services. The leader country in this sector is The US with an important amount of 85 refueling stations allover the country. Japan, Canada, Norway or Sweeden would be other countries who bet for this kind of clean energy.

However, as you can see in the video or in most of websites is that this energy source has only succeed on being comercial for public transport as more than 100 fuel cell propulsed buses are circulating around the world, because although many different type of vehicles have been developped in order to work with hydrogen cells they still being too expensive or not efficient enough but we will write about it in further entries. But I previously mentioned this is a newborn energy and research is needed to improve it and in this blog we will follow that research objectively in spite of the controversy about de real power behind fuel cells.
