Scientists at KU Leuven have taken an important step towards the industrial production of panels that can extract green hydrogen gas from the air. After testing several prototypes, they are now ready for the next step: industrial production. By 2030, they hope to be able to install the panels on the roofs of homes.
Hydrogen is the smallest and lightest of all chemical elements and has a special property: it carries energy. Hydrogen gas is an energy carrier that can store and produce both electricity and heat.
