True but the carbon in the fuel doesn't disappear in the reforming process.
It forms CO2. Until they find a way to reduce the CO2, they still have a
big problem. I agree that the primary product of the fuel cell is H2O, but
you have to look at the whole system, which includes the reformer.

tippet--

a reformer chemically separates the hydrogen which is combined with oxygen in the cell

The reformer is what separates the hydrogen from the fuel (gasoline, natural gas, methanol etc...)

The hydrogen is then combined with an oxidizer as part of the chemical reaction within the PEM.
