BMW is currently proposing its own hydrogen solutions, showcasing solar-powered electrolysis at the Hannover Trade Fair, as The Detroit Bureau reports. Breaking water down into hydrogen and oxygen requires energy, which is cause for concern when touting it as a green alternative to traditional fuels. Using solar power for that process ensures that the hydrogen you're putting into your fuel cell car has a low environmental impact. And the fact that BMW is pursuing clean hydrogen and fuel cell vehicles is interesting, considering that another German automaker, Mercedes-Benz, is pumping the brakes on its fuel cell program.
