Hydrogen cars
Hydrogen cars. These low-emission BMW cars have had their engines altered to burn hydrogen. Although nitrogen oxides are formed during the combustion, and carbon monoxide is created from the vaporization of lubricants, the main product is water. To keep the hydrogen as a liquid it is stored at -253 degrees Celsius by the 70 insulating sheets of aluminium and fibreglass in its fuel tank. Photographed in Germany

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fleet of innovative hydrogen cars, proudly bearing the BMW emblem. These remarkable vehicles have undergone engine modifications to efficiently burn hydrogen as fuel, resulting in significantly reduced emissions. While the combustion process does generate nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide from lubricant vaporization, the primary byproduct is none other than water itself. The cutting-edge technology behind these environmentally friendly cars goes beyond their fuel source. To maintain hydrogen in its liquid state, an impressive 70 insulating sheets made of aluminum and fiberglass encase the fuel tank, keeping it at an astonishingly chilly -253 degrees Celsius. This ensures that the hydrogen remains stable for use as a clean energy alternative. Captured against a backdrop of Germany's picturesque landscape, this photograph symbolizes both engineering prowess and commitment to sustainable transportation solutions. The German origin of these vehicles further emphasizes the nation's dedication to environmental consciousness and technological advancement. As we gaze upon this image captured by Science Photo Library, we are reminded of the immense potential that lies within our grasp to revolutionize how we move about our world. With each passing day, advancements like these propel us closer towards a future where eco-friendly motor vehicles become commonplace on our roads – ushering in cleaner air and reducing our carbon footprint for generations to come.
