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.
