The first reaction transforms hydrogen into formic acid, a liquid that is easy to store and less flammable than gasoline, while the second reaction does the reverse and restores the hydrogen. The simple system is based on two chemical reactions. The procedure is simple enough that it can be implemented at the domestic level, he said.
