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.

Leading geophysicists predict that peak-oil is either currently occuring, or will have occured by 2015. Meanwhile, demand for oil continues to increase at an extraordinairy rate, with increasingly negative social and ecological consequences. Are you ready to switch?

The project to deliver a fleet of the zero emission taxis to the streets of London in time for the 2012 Olympics is on track, with the first Fuel Cell Black Cabs covering a combined total of over 8,000 miles in road and test track testing conditions. The 2011 Bridgestone Eco-Rally will be another milestone in the high profile zero emission trial.

The Horizon HMX pedelec stores hydrogen in powdery form inside sturdy metal hydride cartridges. The hydrogen "fuels" the fuel cell which powers the electric motor. This model is being tested by London's foremost hydrogen pioneers - Camden Council - as a courier bike.
