In northern Germany, the concept of a circular energy economy makes sense: surplus energy produced by solar panels and wind turbines is converted into hydrogen to power the regional bus network. @artetvsite https://t.co/aIqfsGMpb0

In recent years, electric cars have developed very quickly, and now we are very far from cars that can travel only a few hundred kilometers and have a tiny battery. From now on, there is something for every taste and especially for every budget, and technology is constantly evolving. Today there are vehicles that can travel more than 700 kilometers without a charging station, such as the Mercedes EQS. Indeed, it is important that this segment develops, and there are more and more buyers, limited by environmental measures and the ban on combustion in 2035. But it is still difficult to overcome all the disadvantages of electric cars, especially the charging time. That’s whyhydrogen also seems like a solution for the future.

Great powder
If this motorization also develops very slowly, it does not happen as fast as the electric one. And it is not for nothing that, despite numerous advantages, hydrogen also has some disadvantages. Among them is the difficulty of storage, while this gas is very volatile and therefore difficult to transport. In addition, it is also highly explosive, which can make it dangerous to use. But researchers may have found an innovative solution. It is called ” Solid hydrogen“, and simply stands for hydrogen that has been turned into powder. An innovation we owe to a group of Australian researchers that could revolutionize the cars of tomorrow.
Many benefits
This new way store hydrogen can greatly facilitate its transportation, thus allowing, in particular, to reduce costs. In addition, by using cleaner trucks, it would also reduce the pollution created by the loads and the powder would take up less space. Cars would be safer because the gas would be less explosive than in its normal form. However, it would be several years before this revolutionary powder would be used for production cars.
