OBS

hidroducto; hidrogenoducto: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que el significado propio de hidro- es "agua", por lo que un "hidroducto" es, en principio, una conducción de este líquido, sentido con el que se emplea en ocasiones. No obstante, a partir de hidrógeno se está empezando a aplicar a lo relacionado con esta última sustancia, sobre todo como fuente de energía. [...] Al ser un elemento que funciona como prefijo, lo adecuado es escribirlo en una sola palabra, por lo que son inadecuadas grafías como "hidro-ducto" e "hidro ducto". Aunque minoritaria, también se documenta la variante "hidrogenoducto", que carece de la concisión de "hidroducto", aunque es más transparente.
