With the short-term depletion of fossil fuels (oil, natural gas, coal, etc...) and the deterioration of our environment looming, the use of renewable power sources is becoming essential. The energy transition has thus become one of the major technological and scientific challenges of the 21st century, with non-carbon renewable power sources representing a major alternative to fossil fuels. However, their exceptional potential is strongly offset by the storage problems caused by the intermittent…

The use of fossil fuels takes part in the increase of greenhouse gases, and influences on the climate. Transports, especially cars, play an important part in this pollution. Thinking about the place of clean energies in tomorrow energetic choices is getting more and more necessary. This film gives an overview of the French research on hydrogen energy, applied to transports. It shows obstacles to the emergence of a mass market for hydrogen cars, solutions that loom in the laboratories and life…
