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.

Bosch on importance of renewable synthetic fuels to reach climate goals; e-fuels

Green Car Congress

Electromobility is just now picking up momentum; further, electric cars are only as emissions-free as the production of electricity that charges their batteries. One path to achieving this is with renewable synthetic fuels (e-fuels). One path to achieving this is with renewable synthetic fuels (e-fuels). Climate neutrality.
