Analysis on using Hydrogen Gas as a Fuel in Internal Combustion Engines with the Production of Hydrogen through Electrolysis

Abstract: Commonly used motorcar fuels such as Petrol and Diesel contribute to a large amount of CO2 emission, directly linking it to global concern of climate change. Finding an alternative fuel or technology which can help reduce the Carbon-di-oxide emission has therefore become a necessity to ensure sustainability of natural resources and fossil fuels for further future use. Before Hydrogen fuel came into existence, the EV?s were a better alternative to reduce green-house gas emissions. Nonetheless EV?s would seem straightforward from the front but they do come with a lot of, usually ignored, drawbacks involving Lithium-ion Battery usage, which itself produces a lot of carbon while its mining and extraction process, and can produce an amount of carbon as much as or more than the conventional gasoline and diesel vehicles do in combined. Electric Vehicles have a lot of benefits in terms of not using fossil fuel, but the fact that they do have many imperfections, all of which cannot be completely disregarded, makes them a not-so-good-choice.
