In the UK, Fuel Cells Works reported that Keele University announced the launch of its new green hydrogen generation hub.
The report noted that the aim of the hub is to generate hydrogen from excess renewable energy generated on campus, allowing researchers to develop and test the next generation of materials and infrastructure that uses this form of energy storage.
The hydrogen at Keele is generated from an electrolyser on the university campus, which splits water into hydrogen and oxygen molecules, with the oxygen released into the atmosphere while the hydrogen is stored for future use, the report added.
The hydrogen is already being used to fuel two hydrogen-powered cars; two Toyota Mirais, which have been added to the university’s fleet of vehicles, and the hydrogen-generating electrolyzer will also allow new research into hydrogen technologies, it added.
