"The creation of an infrastructure to refuel road vehicles with hydrogen means that there will be a realistic alternative to petrol and diesel," says SNP MSP Rob Gibson.
A design is proposed to show how TEGs could be used as a primary power source but TEGs must improve their power per unit cost before they become a viable alternative to petrol generators.
The first mass production hydrogen cars, billed for more than a decade as a clean alternative to petrol and diesel vehicles but only glimpsed as concepts at automotive trade shows, have arrived on British roads.
Diesel technology, long held up by the industry as a cleaner alternative to petrol, was facing a backlash as scientists produced evidence that its emissions were responsible for tens if not hundreds of thousands of premature deaths a year.
That same year, Ford's incoming boss, Jacques Nasser, said that he saw fuel-cell cars as being a viable alternative to petrol cars for many people during the course of his career (he was replaced in 2001).
Indeed, BMW, his old firm, is pushing hydrogen as a cleaner alternative to petrol for internal-combustion engines, with vastly reduced carbon-dioxide emissions.Mr Reitzle thinks the main value of this approach is that it could foster the construction of hydrogen filling-stations, which could later be used by a new generation of zero-emission cars powered by fuel cells.
There has been an increase in studies on coal since it is an alternative to petrol and has a high reserve.
He stated the vehicle was not quite ready for the tough endurance challenge, and that his ultimate goal of demonstrating fuel cells were a viable alternative to petrol engines was better served by pulling out.
