With transition to alternate fuels, one fuel with potential is #hydrogen. Smaller #vehicles always face challenge of adopting hydrogen due to its high pressure requirement.

But thanks to #researchers at Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Advanced Materials IFAM, Dresden who have now come up with a new paste called POWERPASTE which #riders have to just replace an empty cartridge with a new one and then refill tank with water.

POWERPASTE stores hydrogen as paste at room temperature and pressure and releases paste from cartridge by means of a plunger. The Water from tank thus reacts and produces hydrogen.

The researchers further claim that only 50% of hydrogen is generated from water and therefore POWERPASTE has very high energy storage density much higher than #EV battery and thus equated with fossil fueled vehicle. Also, this doesn't require big infrastructure and can be easily sold in regular fuel station.

This research really could be an answer to range anxiety and infrastructure challenges. Kudos to the research team and really looking forward for mass scale application in EVs soon.
