Any type fuel can be used within a fuel cell with Hydrogen being the most efficient emitting water as a byproduct. Energy must be used, however, to make Hydrogen therefore Carbon Dioxide is still emitted into the atmosphere plus it is more costly to refine.

Hydrogen fuel is channeled through field flow plates to the anode on one side of the fuel cell, while oxygen from the air is channeled to the cathode on the other side of the cell.  2. At the anode, a platinum catalyst causes the hydrogen to split into positive hydrogen ions (protons) and negatively charged electrons.  3. The Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) allows only the positively charged ions to pass through it to the cathode.  The negatively charge" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/C485AEFC-DFB9-4BB1-9E64-C4751B727A51/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
