A wide variety of fuels are able to produce hydrogen, including renewables, nuclear, natural gas, coal and oil. It can also be transformed into electricity and methane to power homes and feed industry, and into fuels for cars, trucks, ships and planes. There are currently around 11,200 hydrogen-powered cars on the road worldwide.

According to Chinese authorities, the ones on Changbiao are civilian power reactors, designed to generate 600 megawatts of electricity each, which amounts to a little more than 1 percent of the total capacity of China’s nuclear power sector. They are called breeder reactors because they produce more nuclear fuel than they consume.

Energy experts have been warning that electricity is likely to get more expensive and less reliable unless renewable power that waxes and wanes under inconstant sunlight and wind is backed up by generators that can run whenever needed. The energy sent Earthward by the craft was too meager to power a lightbulb, but it was progress nonetheless.
