For several months now, 20 teams of Australian high-school students have been designing fuel-cell cars to compete in the country’s inaugural Hydrogen Grand Prix. The task: make the most of a 30-watt fuel cell and 14 grams of hydrogen gas. Welcome to Australia, where a green-hydrogen boom is in full swing.

Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki, and Yamaha have just collectively promised to develop a slew of hydrogen-reliant engines designed to power small vehicles. It’s largely counter to what the rest of the world is doing and begs the question of why Japan seems so intent on making hydrogen power work. But it hasn’t been steady progress.
