Cars that combine electric and gasoline engines will be cleaner than those that use hydrogen, at least until 2020. In fact, although hydrogen cars emit less pollutants, at present hydrogen is produced from natural gas, so the process is not cleaner than the other. According to MIT researchers, despite having researched hard, hydrogen cars will take more than twenty years to lead the list of clean cars. To do this, we will have to find a way to extract hydrogen from water in a cheap and clean way.
