New process makes hydrogen fuel possible

ydrogen has long been touted as an effective replace for conventional oil-based fuels.

It works, but its manufacture has always consumed inordinate amounts for fossil fuels and while the fuel itself was climate-friendly, its manufacture wasn’t.

However, chemists from the University of Glasgow report on a new form of hydrogen production which they claim is 30 times faster than the current state-of-the-art method.

The process, they claim, also solves common problems associated with generating electricity from renewable sources such as solar, wind or wave energy.
