Fraunhofer suggests e-scooters as application for its magnesium hydride paste hydrogen storage technology

Green Car Congress

Fraunhofer’s POWERPASTE releases hydrogen on contact with water. kWh/liter—about 10 times the capacity of Li-Ion batteries. Refueling would be simple; riders merely have to replace an empty cartridge with a new one and then refill a tank with water. It has a hydrogen capacity of about 10 mass-% (i.e.
