The shift to electric mobility is in line with ongoing efforts to reduce the world’s dependence on fossil fuels, and reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions responsible for climate change. It has also contributed to environment degradation, landscape damage and soil contamination, groundwater depletion and pollution.

Researchers from London South Bank University (LSBU), School of the Built Environment and Architecture, are investigating the use of metal hydrides to absorb, release and store hydrogen for fuel cell buses. On demand, the hydrogen is released from the hydride (endothermic reaction), utilizing the waste heat of the fuel cell.
