Will coal become the source of hydrogen for fuel cell vehicles?

Not when we have so much natural gas. It will be the fuel. Easier to work with than hydrogen.

Does not leak out so fast.

No, because coal has relatively little hydrogen and lots of carbon. The fuel-cell car would have a huge carbon footprint. Plus there's no infrastructure for extracting, storing, transporting, or delivering the hydrogen, and it would cost nearly a trillion dollars plus some major technological breakthroughs to make it so.

Coal could provide the heat for the retorter to convert the shale rock into oil. Who said you can't squeeze oil from a stone? GoldenLion 6 months ago .

I think natural gas will play a strong role in the future. GoldenLion 6 months ago .

Some forms of production have more potential to cause harm. They may pollute fresh water zones, contaminate surface or near-surface water supplies, impact rock shelf causing seismic events or lead to surface subsidence. One source for methane production uses solid and liquid wastes from cities and farms, with obvious advantages and fewer risks than other methods.

The production of coal gas as a source for fuel cells may be of value. The use of natural gas for this process will likely require the process of fracking, which has the potential of creating adverse consequences on the water supply, air quality, the risk of seismic events and surface subsidence. However, coal mining also shares these hazards.

Studies need to be done to determine if the impact on the environment would be greater or less using of coal to produce gas for fuel cells than methods to produce natural gas, and whether its production would be as economical.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
