Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Many countries have met their climate goals and are on track to be completely carbon neutral. In the fight against climate change, many countries have pledged to reduce their CO2 emissions to net zero. Almost all hydrogen produced today is designated as brown, black, or gray, meaning it was generated by burning natural gas or coal.
