Hydrogen fuel cells are a fuel cell stack – similar to other types of batteries – which converts hydrogen and oxygen from the air into water, heat and, of course, electricity.
Hydrogen transport – How does it work?
A system is added around the fuel cell. It uses a compressor to bring air towards the hydrogen that is stored in a reservoir, and to cool the fuel cell. The whole system is designed to allow it to be incorporated into the available spaces in vehicles.
