Step 1. Among the electrochemical power sources covered in this chapter, the hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell (section 5.11.1) stands out as essentially pollution-free: its overall reaction is simply 2H2(g)+O2(g)→2H2O(l)2H_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow2H_2O(l), so its only byproduct is water, unlike batteries containing heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium or nickel.

Step 2. Because a fuel cell's reactants are continuously supplied rather than stored and discarded, it also avoids generating the solid chemical waste that a spent primary (non-rechargeable) dry cell produces. …
