Hydrogen car during automated refuelling with liquid hydrogen from a tank at Munich airport,Germany. The hydrogen is burnt in a type of conventional vehicle engine. Although nitrogen oxides are formed during the combustion,and carbon monoxide is created from vaporized engine lubricants,the main product is water. To keep the hydrogen as a liquid it is stored at -253 degrees Celsius in a tank with 70 insulating sheets of aluminium and fibreglass. For safety reasons,the hydrogen is pumped into the car by a robotic system. This car is made by BMW | |
