Hydrogen Fuel Made with Sunlight and Zinc



Hydrogen is the most abundant element on Earth. And it’s potential as a fuel could revolutionize the energy market because using it doesn’t produce any emissions. Zero. Unfortunately, it’s lightweight gas and rises into the atmosphere, which means its rarely found in its pure form. And making making it produces emissions.
Erik Koepf, a mechanical engineering PhD student at the University of Delaware, may have found a way to make hydrogen fuel cheaply, using only sunlight, zinc oxide and water.
