Hydrogen 'to become a viable alternative to petrol!!!'
======================
Hydrogen 'to become a viable alternative to petrol' thanks to new process that makes gas behave like liquid * Technology can be used with existing cars * Hydrogen is clean alternative to petrol and produces only water when burned

Hydrogen fuel could be set to become a viable environmentally friendly alternative to petrol following the development of new technology that allows the natural gas to be stored in a cheap and practical way.

The groundbreaking technique utilises materials that soak up hydrogen like a sponge, and then encapsulates them in tiny plastic beads so small they behave like a liquid.

The process, based on a new way of producing nano-fibres from hydrides, is being developed by Cella Energy, a spin-off from Britain's Rutherford Appleton Laboratory.

The technique allows hydrogen to be released at a much faster rate and at lower temperatures than before, researchers said.

'What we've been doing is taking these materials and encasing them in plastic and making them into a very fine powder and that improves their properties,' Cella Energy Chief Scientific Officer Stephen Bennington said. 'It also means you can pump it like a fluid and it's safe. It is not gong to easily burst into flames,' he said.

Hydrogen produces only water when it is burned and is considered an ideal solution to cutting carbon emissions from petrol or diesel vehicles, which are estimated to cause 25 per cent of all carbon release.

Nonsense. Nowhere is not extracted hydrogen. You have to process it in another way. Water hydrolysis, or methane. Processing efficiency is less than 100%. Hydrolysis of 30% from methane about 50%. Much better is CNG!

Is it Hydrogen based artificial petrol?

I will promote them at my twitter @xocohealthnl

I like your performance, enthusiasm, emotion etc. I was looking for a reaction as strong as mine.

Gotta say, you missed saying they have only produced it in the lab and need money to attempt mass production in a factory. Fingers crossed it will only take a year or two, to the pump, cos we all need this now. I have so much admiration for the scientists and engineers on this one. I have read hippie-speak that it will probably be sat on by the petrol industry, surely this can't be?
