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.
Hybrid and plug in hybrid cars have more than twice the lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions of full battery electriccars in an average grid, but up to five times more emissions in a 100 pct renewable grid.

A recent PSI study led by environmental scientist Christian Bauer found that a battery electriccar is already the most environmentally friendly option in Switzerland and many other countries, even when the manufacture of the battery is figured in. Note the large impact of energy storage in the latter. in review).
In 2024, a small electric SUV with a range of 300 miles produces 52% fewer life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions than a comparable gasoline vehicle. Electric vehicles (EVs) have no tailpipe emissions, but nearly three quarters of the GHG emissions for a gasoline vehicle come from the tailpipe (vehicle.
