Fuel Cells!...

Department of Energy

A new approach to an established fuel will be the focus of research, development and maybe production with the help of NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

The company, based in Britain, has formulated a way to store hydrogen safely in tiny pellets that still allow the fuel to be burned in an engine. [NASA] Kennedy, which handles huge amounts of the explosive gas regularly as part of its rocket work, is being enlisted to help the company overcome a couple technological hurdles.

If the work pays off, engines all over the world could run on hydrogen, which burns clean, producing no greenhouse gases.
