Producing environmentally safe hydrogen fuel is an expensive affair. And when you add in storage and transportation, it is no wonder promotion of hydrogen fuel has not met with any success so far.

However, the University of California, Berkeley, may have solved the connudrum by utilizing molybdenum catalyst to react with seawater. The molybdenum compound behaves as a bulk magnet to split water to generate hydrogen gas.

There is no need for additives, organic acids or solvents through the whole process and the catalyst is more stable than nickel and iron compounds.

Hydrogen is one of the best green energy and it is renewable too. If the process helps to reduce the production cost, there is hope of mass usage.
