Nowadays, when the whole world is increasingly engaged in environmental protection, it is necessary to come up with a fuel alternative for transport, which means generally abandoning the use of non-renewable resources (fossil fuels), as they are one of the many factors influencing the emergence of greenhouse gases and its associated global warming. In today's Europe, pressure is being put mainly on automotive companies, to search for sources other than conventional fuels. At present, there is a big boom in the area of electric cars powered from the power network ? the vast majority of electric energy, however, is produced in fossil fuel power plants. A second option of possible development in this area is the use of hydrogen as an alternative fuel. This technology, whether it be direct combustion as in diesel or eventually in petrol engines, or energy production in a hydrogen fuel cell, is certainly a way suitable for further development. With hydrogen as a fuel, it is possible to reduce pollutants almost to zero. The article presents a comparison of electricity generated using renewable and non-renewable sources and focuses on a closer understanding of the myth of the dangers connected with using hydrogen as a fuel. Furthermore, it focuses on the production of hydrogen, in particular on its industrial use as an easily renewable source of fuel.
