Toyota and DIFFER partner on direct solar production of hydrogen from humid air, rather than water

Green Car Congress

The Dutch Institute for Fundamental Energy Research ( DIFFER ) is partnering with Toyota Motor Europe (TME) to develop a device that absorbs water vapor, and splits it into hydrogen and oxygen directly using solar energy. One of these sustainable fuels is hydrogen, which can be used to store renewable energy.
