Already proven in small series by car manufacturers like Toyota and Hyundai, this technology, which has the advantage of eliminating the charging time of electric cars, nevertheless poses new constraints, such as the need to store hydrogen at very high temperatures. pressure (several hundred bars).

Its carbon footprint also depends on the way it is produced, either from hydrocarbons (methane reforming) or by electrolysis of water, ideally using electricity from renewable sources.
