Japanese automaker Toyota has unveiled a groundbreaking hydrogen capsule technology at the Mobility Show Bizweek in Japan. These hydrogen capsules, developed in partnership with its subsidiary Woven Planet Holdings, are compact and portable, weighing 11 pounds each and filled with hydrogen gas. The capsules are designed to be used in fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) as well as in other applications like cooking. This innovative approach aims to address the challenge of refueling stations for hydrogen fuel-cell EVs by allowing consumers to recharge their vehicles at depots, gas stations, or even in emergency situations. The technology, which is much lighter and more versatile than previous versions, is set to undergo Proof of Concept trials in Japan. Toyota, along with partners like BMW, Hyundai, and Honda, remains steadfast in its belief that hydrogen is the superior long-term solution for the auto industry, citing its zero carbon dioxide emissions and potential for low supply-chain emissions when generated from renewable sources. By delivering hydrogen through portable cartridges and adopting a business model similar to gas bottles or battery swaps, Toyota aims to make hydrogen more accessible and convenient for consumers, ultimately promoting its vision for a cleaner and sustainable automotive future.
