JET to open 250 hydrogen stations in Europe https://t.co/ScZ9J86ikc pic.twitter.com/9YiYmQgj8N

Today, electricity is experiencing a real boom in the world, especially in Europe. And it is not for nothing that from 2035 manufacturers will be prohibited from selling thermal vehicles on the Old Continent. The goal? Reduce polluting emissions from the automotive industry by 100%. A more than dubious decision on many counts, but that’s not what it’s about here. But if in theory only electricity should be allowed, alternative engines such as hydrogen should also be allowed. Indeed, a fuel cell does not use an internal combustion engine to operate, but only emits water vapor. But so far this engine has not been developed too much.
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

several stations
Today, only two models run on water: Toyota Mirai and Hyundai Nexo. Because one of the main brakes is still being recharged, as there are only 29 service stations across France that supply this fuel. Suffice it to say, it’s very little, and certainly not enough to allow the mass adoption of fuel cell cars. But that may change soon. Indeed, according to a report published France Hydrogen, the number of stations is expected to increase significantly over the next few years. And not for nothing, by 2025 there should be at least 225 in France, throughout the territory. A very promising figure!
.
Equal distribution
In addition, according to the report, each region should be equipped with at least a dozen charging stations. A figure that should probably encourage motorists to consider this alternative, while more and more manufacturers are interested in this alternative engine. This is especially true of Honda, which plans to launch a hydrogen car in the coming years, as well as Hopium and NamX, present at the last Paris Motor Show in October.
