Why is hydrogen considered a cleaner fuel compared to $CNG$?
(N/A) Hydrogen is considered a cleaner fuel because,upon combustion,it produces only water vapour $(H_2O)$,which is non-polluting and environmentally friendly.
In contrast,$CNG$ (Compressed Natural Gas) is a hydrocarbon fuel that releases carbon dioxide $(CO_2)$ and other trace pollutants when burned.
Although hydrogen is cleaner,its widespread use is currently limited due to its highly explosive nature,as well as significant challenges related to its storage and transportation.
