Hydrogen as fuel: no chicken or egg problem

Ford Motor Company has introduced a new car with a hydrogen internal combustion engine that could help bridge the gap between gasoline vehicles and the fuel cell vehicles of the future. The P2000 hydrogen internal combustion engine (H2ICE) concept vehicle offers dramatically decreased emission levels and improved engine efficiency. The ease of manufacture and similarity in operation to gasoline products means hydrogen ICEs could be used to encourage the growth of a hydrogen fueling infrastructure while the technology for long-term transportation solutions, such as hydrogen fuel cells, continues to mature.
"Our H2ICE technology could be used to take the chicken out of the chicken
and egg debate about which comes first, the hydrogen fueled vehicle or the
hydrogen fueling infrastructure," says Vance Zanardelli, Ford's manager of
Transmission and Engine Systems Research. The modified Ford Focus engine emits
one three hundredth of the CO2 of a gasoline engine. ![]()

It's been a while since this article was first published, and hydrogen cars have come a long way. With the recent release of the Honda FCX Clarity, hydrogen cars are rapidly moving into the mainstream and being seriously considered as a potential replacement for traditional vehicles.
