- VBprogrammer 7y agoHydrogen can also be used in internal combustion engines with most of the benefits of reduced emissions (NOx not withstanding) with minimal modification. If there was a source, distribution and storage infrastructure for hydrogen we could start using it tomorrow. Personally I don't see much hope in that direction. Hydrogen combines high pressures with corrosive nature (see hydrogen embrittlement) and high flammability. Unless someone comes up with a really good storage matrix for it.
