Abstract

One of the major sources of power is the engines. These are presently used for transport and for other applications. The fuels to these engines are nothing but the products obtained from fractional distillation of petroleum. Incomplete combustion produces carbon monoxide which depletes the ozone layer. These are the problems our environment faces today. Since there are more kinds of fuel cells, this paper has been narrowed down to PEM fuel cell which uses only hydrogen as a fuel to produce power. Hydrogen is available in plenty. The bye product is nothing other than water. So there is no hazard to environment. Same water can be used to produce hydrogen by passing current into water. It does not create any noise pollution as like a generator. These are some points to be highlighted in PEM fuel cells.
