storage of htdrogen fuel.

Answer 1

There is some information at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_economy

The common process for producing hydrogen is steam reforming of hydrocarbons at pressure and temperature, the CO2 produced can be sequestered underground. There are plants being built which will produce power from this hydrogen at good efficiencies in dual cycle gas and steam turbines. Storage of hydrogen can be accomplished under pressure or in liquid form at cryogenic temperatures.

Answer 2

Hydrogen sucks as an alternative transportation fuel. You have to extract it somehow (a lot of times using electrolosis) and then use it to produce electricity via the fuel cell. The process is not all that efficient either, so why not just use electricity and be done with it?

Hydrogen is like electricity in that it is a means of energy transportation (it is derived from a source fuel). The thing is that storage is a big problem since hydrogen isn't very dense and leaks from many storage tanks. Special fueling stations would need to be built in order to accomodate hydrogen. Electricity, on the other hand, is readily available from the millions of outlets that are in nearly every home and business.

Check out the Popular Science link and these statistics from the Tesla Motors (electric sports car company) website. Hydrogen has a long way to go, and is not as clean as you think.

Answer 3

The problem with hydrogen as a fuel for cars is storage. It does not liquefy very easily and thus the gas must be compressed to a high psi to get a large volume in a relatively small tank.

Almost a perfect fuel though. You break down water into hydrogen and oxygen and when you burn them you get the same amount of water back. Of course if you're using air instead of pure oxygen you will get some nitrogen byproducts after burning.
