A revolutionary new clean fuel has been developed that has the potential to power cars using sunshine. Researchers from the University of Cambridge have developed a technique that uses natural sunlight to generate hydrogen from biomass, such as wood and straw. This hydrogen can then be used to power fuel cells, which can drive electric cars.
The process, known as photocatalysis, involves using a catalyst to break down the biomass into hydrogen and other gases using sunlight. The researchers estimate that this technique has the potential to produce up to 5% of the UK's energy needs by 2050.
This new clean fuel is not only renewable but also has the potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Hydrogen fuel cells produce only water as a byproduct, making them a much cleaner alternative to traditional gasoline engines.
While more research is needed to fully understand the potential of this new technology, the researchers believe that it could be a game-changer in the fight against climate change. As the world continues to search for sustainable solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, this new clean fuel offers a promising alternative to traditional fossil fuels.
With the potential to power cars using sunshine and significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, this breakthrough has the potential to revolutionize the way we think about energy and transportation.
