Comment on Stellantis abandons hydrogen fuel cell development

Ideally there are no harmful combustion byproducts when used in ICE, the reality is probably less harmful combustion byproducts, not none Hydrogen is lossy, Conversions being inefficient, Molecules small enough to migrate from containment, Embrittlement of pipes & tanks
3 or more times the infrastructure per watt delivered, a huge investment in resources
I suppose if there is excess generating capacity, hydrogen could be used as a storage medium for night time

E.g. nitruogen oxides

  We are talking about fuel cells, not ICE, though, right?

    This referrs to this statement in the text, mentioning both ICE and fuel cells:
    
    That sometimes refers to hydrogen combustion engines, but more often, it’s hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles, or FCEVs. Both promise motoring with only water emitted from the vehicles’ exhausts.
    
    While this statement “no exhausts except water” holds for fuel cells, it doesn’t for ICEs.

    Oh, I see now.
