Issues in Fuel Cell Development

like electric power generation as well as a variety of consumer products. These things include cars, cameras and home electronics (2002). An example is that fuel cell vehicles operating  on hydrogen that is stored onboard vehicles produce zero pollution (2002). Vehicles that convert liquid fuel to hydrogen produce just scant amounts of emissions and are able to reduce smog-forming  pollution by as much as 90% (2002, p.3). And in fact, it is the automobile that is the most popular area that these fuel cells are probably going to be  used for. Rubber processors and automotive-related companies in particular, need to keep abreast of fuel cell developments ("Fuel cell," 2002). A rubber company should not expect to  make a quick killing by creating products to be used with fuel-cell-powered vehicles and firms which provide automotive rubber components should not be afraid of internal combustion engines which  are about to disappear, along with their business (2002). The impact of fuel cells may be decades away, but over the course of time, fuels cells seem to hold a  great deal of promise. Negative aspects of using fossil fuels do provide an impetus to create an energy source that is based on hydrogen, something that is virtually inexhaustible and  nonpolluting (2002). Essentially, the drawbacks of fossil fuels have to do with things like global warming and the impact of oil exploration (2002). Those seem to be among the  reasons that government and industry are working on turning the theory into an affordable practicality (2002). Fuel cell technology probably will develop more quickly in non-transportation areas, and should be  able to serve the energy needs in commercial and residential buildings ("Fuel cell," 2002). Rubber companies, for example, serve those areas and need to be aware of changes in their
