In the future we can produce hydrogen from renewable
electricity by electrolysis. When there is an excess of elec-
tricity produced by wind, solar, hydro, geothermal, waste
or biomass we easily can convert this into hydrogen, store
it in the tank of our fuel cell car. Then we effectively do not
have any carbon dioxide emissions.
In the future, hydrogen can even be produced at home or
at the office where you have a solar system producing
electricity, using an electrolyzer to convert this into hydrogen,
pressurize it and put it in the tank of your car. Farmers that
produce biogas can convert the biogas into hydrogen,
pressurize it and put it in the tank of their tractors, combines,
trucks or cars. And communities that have wind turbines,
solar systems or biogas installations are not only able to
produce all their electricity but also the hydrogen for their
own fuel cell cars.
