Fuel Cell vs. hydrogen in ICE
Fuel Cell vs. hydrogen in ICECan anyone explain the difference between fuel cells and hydrogen as a fuel in Internal Combustion Engines. My understanding is that hydrogen in a fuel cell produces electricity and the electrcity is the power for the total electric car. Westport Fuel Systems announced a partenership yesterday to use their HPDI 2.0 technology to fuel existing Internal Combustion Engines with hydrogen gas. This makes a vehicle at par in performance with existing internal combustion engines fueled by diesel. HyGEAR can produce green hydrogen from RNG on site. No need for difficult long range transport of hydrogen produced at a wind farm. If Westport can develop an internal combustion engine powered by hydrogen--it will be cheaper and more efficient than a fuel cell electric engine.
