Researchers are planning to turn seawater into hydrogen that can be used as fuel. The plan is to split seawater and store hydrogen safely on ships. Genuine H2 and researchers from Brunel University of London said that the hydrogen stored on ships can be burnt to power engines that will emit only steam. With this, they plan to turn water into power, delivering clean energy for ship transport.

“We take seawater, split it using renewable electricity to make hydrogen gas, store it onboard as a molecular solid, then burn it in an engine instead of diesel, with no CO2,” said Professor Xinyan Wang of Brunel University of London.
