hydrogen
What if 'water' could fuel combustion engines... Jack Nicholson had an answer in the 70's.
Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. From the ‘well to the wheel’ the Hydrogen line currently generates around 25% less CO2 emissions per km covered than the classic fuel line. In terms of energy output, a fuel cell battery, using Hydrogen and an electric motor is currently twice as efficient as an internal combustion engine. 98% of the world‘s hydrogen is currently produced from fossil fuels, but it can be produced without emissions... at the point of use.

ITM Power’s Transportable Hydrogen Refuelling Station (HFuel) is a self-contained module suitable for refuelling hydrogen-powered road vehicles and forklift trucks. HFuel is well suited to small fleet and early ‘hydrogen highway’ applications of both fuel cell and hydrogen engine vehicles (FCV and HICEV). It is based around a modular platform (standard freight containers) and can be expanded at any point after the initial installation enabling a staged roll-out of hydrogen fuel.

ITM's electrolyser and fuel cell technologies have the potential to become the cornerstones of a future hydrogen economy based on 'green' hydrogen. Their hydrogen systems are able to convert renewable energy to a clean fuel, that can be indefinitely stored for use in transport, residential and industrial applications.

Back in the 1970s Jack Nicholson drove around in a Chevy that was almost standard - apart from large hydrogen cylinders in the boot, a slightly altered carburettor and a refreshing plume of water vapour from the exhaust.
This technology will totally revolutionize suicides!

This is definitely the alternative 'highway to hydrogen'. A year-long journey from Buenos Aires to Sacramento, California in a VW Beetle where hopefully it will be converted to run on hydrogen.
