Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Sweden’s Vattenfall is aiming to build an offshore, hydrogen-producing wind-turbine demonstrator in the same area. Unlike today, the future will see a climate-neutral world where energy will primarily be electricity from photovoltaics, wind turbines, and hydroelectric power plants. Conventional, or gray, hydrogen: $1.50
