      That’s a really good point – hydrogen is very difficult to store safely in something that you could easily transport around in a car. Petrol is also pretty explosive under the right circumstances too however!

      There are a lot of scientists working on new ways to store hydrogen in large amounts safely and in a small space. It’s actually one of the most difficult things in making a hydrogen powered car!
