Abstract
The transition to electric vehicles depends on the development of a new type of
energy storage and conversion systems, such as batteries and fuel cells. Fuel
cells can directly convert the chemical energy of H2 to electrical power with
zero environmental footprint at high efficiencies.
The high cost of transporting and storing H2, as
well as its low volumetric energy density, render H2 vehicles impractical for
widespread use. Conversely, diesel and gasoline have a higher energy density
and are easier to handle. Furthermore, the production, storage and distribution
infrastructure for these liquid fuels already exists. Accordingly, direct, high
efficiency diesel or gasoline fed fuel cells seem to be the best choice for use
in electric vehicles.
