Robin Gremaud, a Dutch-sponsored researcher, has found that an alloy of magnesium, titanium and nickel could solve the problem of a heavy tanks by readily absorbing the hydrogen. A tank built of this material could also be up to 60% lighter than the amount of batteries required to power a car for a similar distance traveled. This light alloy brings us a step closer to the everyday use of hydrogen as a source of fuel for powering vehicles.
