Honda's latest addition to the fleet, a four-door sedan, called the FCX Clarity, runs on electricity generated from a fuel cell battery that is powered by hydrogen. The cat itself produce only Steam (read H2O or water) as byproduct no CO or CO2 or other bad stuff. But current technology producing Hydrogen uses non renewable energy and it is not widely available either.
According to Honda, the FCX Clarity can get a combined (city and highway driving) fuel efficiency of about 72 miles per kg of H2 which, according to Honda's own estimates, is the equivalent of getting about 74 mpg on a gas-powered car. The car can be driven for about 280 miles before needing to be refueled.
Many Other car makers are testing or having prototypes of Hydrogen based vehicles but only Honda so far come out with a production model!
Now Someone figure out how to create Hydrogen from renewable energy sources. I remember creating Hydrogen from water in the high school lab but as I remember the transformer provided DC, Direct Current was plugged on the lab's electricity supply!.
