KU Leuven team creates solar panel that produces hydrogen from moisture in air

Green Car Congress

Bioscience engineers at KU Leuven have created a solar panel that produces hydrogen gas from moisture in the air. Twenty of these solar panels could provide electricity and heat for one family for an entire winter. A traditional solar panel converts between 18 to 20% of the solar energy into electricity.

IIASA study proposes solid air hydrogen liquefaction as efficient addition to hydrogen liquefaction supply chain

Green Car Congress

This is an expensive process and requires around 30% of the energy stored within the hydrogen. At standard temperature and pressure, air is a gas, but under certain conditions, it can become a liquid or solid. The hydrogen is liquefied where electricity is cheap. —Julian Hunt Resources Hunt, J., Montanari, P.,
