Future cars could be fuelled by hydrogen technology

A team at CSIRO Manufacturing and Infrastructure Technology has developed a small device that can extract enough hydrogen per day from water to power a family car for up to150kms. This work is an important part of CSIRO’s Energy Transformed Flagship research program into positioning Australia for a future hydrogen economy.

Currently, the hydrogen unit runs on main’s power, but researchers are investigating how to power the unit with renewable energy, such as solar and wind power.
