The pros of hydrogen as a fuel include reduced emissions, short refueling times, the renewability of the energy source. The cons include the resources needed (energy and water) to generate the hydrogen fuel, scarce infrastructure to distribute the fuel, and shorter operating life of fuel-cell power trains compared to diesel. |
