Is a hydrogen fuel cell car better in terms of emissions better or an electric car

The common thing in operation of electric car and hydrogen fuel cell car is the absence of a internal combustion engine that is used to drive a conventional vehicle. A hydrogen fuel cell car is also a kind of electric car. It runs also on an electric motor, but instead of a battery, a hydrogen fuel cell car has contains a hydrogen fuel cell that takes hydrogen and generates electricity from it while the car is running.

The electric and hydrogen fuel cell cars doesn't pollute the atmosphere as no fossil fuels are burnt in its operation. These are therefore referred as very green form of transportation.The actual fact is that these vehicles don't produce pollution at the tailpipe. But as we all know that electricity and hydrogen is produced
by some process in the power generation industry that also uses fossil fuels. The majority of the power is generated using fossil fuel sources. This will cause the same amount of pollution that is to be avoided by using
an electric car to avoid fossil fuels. The hydrogen for the fuel cell vehicle will most likely be produced in the future by electrolysis, which involves passing electricity through water. And that electricity will come from the same potentially polluting sources as the electricity used to charge the electric car's batteries.

To make electric cars and hydrogen fuel cell cars non-polluting forms of transportation requires to move away from methods of producing electricity that burn fossil fuels. Instead of burning coal to generate electricity, we'll need to concentrate on environmentally clean methods like hydropower, solar power, wind power and nuclear power, which produce little or no polluting emissions. When the day comes that most of our electricity comes from these sources, the electric car and the hydrogen fuel cell car will both be nearly perfect forms of green, non-polluting transportation.
