The recent discoveries of massive oil reserves in the US Gulf are not hampering voices wanting to cash in on the change to the “hydrogen” economy.

The Savannah River National Laboratory, designated one of 12 national labs two years ago, boasts of having the nation’s largest collection of hydrogen experts. The lab’s initial mission was studying tritium, a hydrogen isotope used to boost nuclear bombs.
Its new research specialty is separating hydrogen from sources such as water and storing the element, normally a gas, onboard a vehicle in a safe, solid, lightweight form.
