Swedish researchers have created a way of turning ash from power stations run on landfill waste into hydrogen. The scientists have a developed a technique of dampening the bottom ash with water in an oxygen-free environment to rapidly release the hydrogen, which can then be collected and stored.
The researchers estimate that use of this technique has the potential to generate 20 billion litres of hydrogen gas a year – 56 gigawatt-hours (GWh) worth of energy.
