Hydrogen: fuel of the future?miércoles, 14 febrero 2018 As the race to find sources of energy to replace our dwindling fossil fuel supplies continues apace, it is likely that hydrogen will play a crucial role in the future.Japan has already announced its intention to become the world’s first «hydrogen society», with the goal of opening 35 hydrogen filling stations by 2020. While the Japanese automaker Toyota expects 30 percent of its vehicles to receive hydrogen energy for the year 2050.In a recent issue of MRS Energy & Sustainability, jointly published by the Materials Research Society and Cambridge University Press, scientists argue that sustainable, carbon-free methods for large-scale hydrogen production are the best way to prepare for our impending fuel fossil. future (today hydrogen is producing from natural gas, generating large quantities of carbon as a secondary product).
