Once lauded as the future of clean transportation and energy storage in a variety of other applications, hydrogen - based fuel cell systems have a great many barriers to adoption, one of which is lack of hydrogen infrastructure, and the other is the need to develop hydrogen production sources that aren't fossil fuel - based or that require more energy to produce than can be released in the fuel cell.
