The Truth About Cars

JULY 25, 2024

With emissions regulations encouraging automakers to pivot toward tiny engines and all-electric vehicles, some have likewise expressed a renewed interest in synthetic fuels. Synthetic fuels first took off in Germany ahead of World War I as the demand for energy spiked across the region. Interest declined as oil production ramped up.

Hydrogen Production To store energy in hydrogen, we first need to produce hydrogen gas. This is primarily done through a process called electrolysis, which involves splitting water (H2O) into hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) using an electric current. Hydrogen Storage Methods Once produced, hydrogen can be stored in various forms.
