Most fuel cells run on hydrogen. Although hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, it is never found on its own in nature. Hydrolyzing a water molecule to produce hydrogen and oxygen requires energy input, and most of that energy currently comes from methane. Other fuel cells need biofuel, and burning it releases greenhouse gases. Is there any place for fuel cells in a green future?

German engineering firm, Bosch, is presenting its advanced high-temperature mini power plants, known as Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs), at the Hanover Fair. The company states that their SOFCs can achieve a remarkable efficiency of 85 to 90%, by transforming water and oxygen into energy and water at temperatures between 500 and 700 degrees Celsius. These SOFCs generate 100 kilowatts of electrical power and 50 kilowatts of thermal energy, enabling end-users to optimize energy efficiency.
