The fuel cell is the future, Toyota believes, and the Mirai is its flagship.
AW: So I have a Toyota Mirai fuel-cell vehicle for a one-year loan to see what it’s like to live with a fuel-cell vehicle.
Up until now the most cost-efficient method (of making hydrogen) has been using natural gas to reclaim the hydrogen.
Using solar energy and wind power and wind-generated energy, to make hydrogen using electrolysis, essentially using electricity to extract hydrogen from water.
(The Fukushima Hydrogen Energy Research Field will open in spring, with a 10,000-kW hydrogen production facility that uses solar panels to make several hundred tons of hydrogen a year through electrolysis.)
