Michigan Tech's article "An Energy Breakthrough: Tech Researchers Create New Type of Fuel Cell"(2023) states that Hydrogen fuel cells are making significant advancements in the clean energy sector, with a promising role in reducing global emissions. Hydrogen fuel cells are highly efficient, requiring 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%(Hu, Su, & Wei, 2023). Moreover, Hydrogen can be produced using renewable resources like wind, solar and biomass, making it a renewable fuel source (Hyundai Motor Company, 2024). Hydrogen fuel cells offer great versatility in their applications. It ranges from powering cars and trucks to stationary power plants. 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. This makes hydrogen fuel cells an appealing solution for the transport industry that
