my understanding was that hydrogen would have a detremental effect on metal/the car itself... hence why its not used in current road going cars?

presumably cars that take hydrogen would have a special petrol tank???

The same problem exists with alcohol fuels such as e85 but almost 100% of the fuel system in a car is plastic these days so I don't see a problem.

In addition, I think the following are the qualifying factors for the anticipated use of the fuel in existing technologies;


A new technology that allows hydrogen to be stored in a cheap and practical way

The company has found a low-cost way to trap the hydride compound inside a nano-porous polymer micro bead


The way I read this is that the process gets round the need to have special storage vessels (such as a fuel tank) in order to prevent evaporation and problems with volatility in the event of damage resulting from a collision.

The issue of taxation is another matter as it’s always difficult for governments to resist the temptation to maintain high prices when so many people seem resigned to paying them.

so about 70p is pure tax??

the news would be interesting if someone drove a tank through the gates of downing street and into number 10 through the wall wouldnt it

who could afford to run a tank

And what happens to the fish afterwards?
