What are the advantages of the hydrogen fuel cell?

Hydrogen fuel cells are known for their energy efficiency. They can convert hydrogen molecules directly to electricity.

One of its main advantages is that it produces electricity without harmful emissions. When the hydrogen reacts with the oxygen in the air in the cell, it releases only water. This makes it a clean technology, not contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. Fuel cells can be used to power silent vehicles that do not emit vibrations during use.

Finally, cells perform well in extremely cold conditions, at high altitudes and in thin air, as illustrated by the endurance record set by a Hyundai Nexo during a 6-hour drive at an altitude of 2200 m in December 2021. "Hydrogen" versions of snowplough and snow groomers are also being developed to reduce the carbon footprint of winter sports resorts.
