Reducing Our Carbon 'Footprint' Long-Term

Posted on 23. February, 2010.

In a poll carried out by Car Parts Warehouse, 78% of subscribers believed that hydrogen-fuelled cars could be the best solution to reducing our carbon 'footprint' long-term.

 

Hydrogen-fuelled cars are certainly an attractive advance from battery-powered cars, offering the same advantages but with the ability to be refueled quicker and lasting longer between refuelings.

 

A car powered by hydrogen fuel would have zero emissions, making them much more efficient. They produce fewer "system-wide" releases of greenhouse gases too.

 

General Motors and Ford have noted that fuel cell car engines could be built for about the same price as an internal combustion engine. Currently, it costs much more to purchase an electric car to be 'green'.
