Researchers from the University of Calgary in Canada claim that they have made a significant breakthrough in the field of renewable energy, one that could make the use of clean power more practical in the future. This breakthrough involves hydrogen fuel, its production, and its use as a storage medium for other forms of renewable power. Of all the sources of renewable energy, hydrogen fuel is often the one that receives the most criticism. The costs associated with hydrogen fuel are often cited as the reason hydrogen is considered a less practical energy source. Researchers from the University of Calgary, however, claim that they have found a way to make hydrogen fuel more attractive. Researchers have made an electrolyzer system out of rust. According to researchers, this electrolyzer is approximately 1,000 times less expensive than conventional models and is able to produce hydrogen fuel efficiently. While efficient hydrogen fuel production could have many implications for the world of renewable energy, it could also mean progress in the realm of energy storage. Researchers suggest that hydrogen is an adequate storage method for renewable energy and is much less volatile and difficult to work with than the conventional batteries that are used to store energy today. hydrogenfuelnews/breakthrough-could-make-hydrogen-fuel-more-practical/859875/
