Michigan Tech's article "An Energy Breakthrough: Tech Researchers Create New Type of Fuel Cell"(2023) states that hydrogen fuel cells are making advancements and have a role in making clean energy for the world. Fuel cells emit zero emissions, and it is highly efficient as they require less energy to convert to electrical energy. The efficiency rate for fuel cells is 60% whereas for normal fuel engines is at 30 to 35%.  According to the Hyundai Motor Company press conference (2023), Hydrogen can be produced by renewable sources like wind, solar and biomass. it is deemed to be a renewable hydrogen potential. It is also versatile as it can power cars, trucks, and stationary power plants in the future. As for refuelling, it takes about 8 minutes to be fully powered whereas else it takes about 20 minutes for an Electric Vehicle (EV) to charge up. There are various types of hydrogen fuel cells being utilised in the market. One of the examples will be the Proton Exchange Memb
