• Question: Where do you think your area of research would be in the next five years ? will we be able to buy hydrgen cars in the future ?

      It depends how much you want to spend on your car!! You can actually buy hydrogen cars in some places right now, but they cost a small fortune! In the next five years, places like Japan are going to start making lots of hydrogen cars. But that’s not true of other countries around the world, including the UK.

      What we’re doing in our research is trying to make hydrogen cars that can go further and be much cheaper, so that hopefully more countries start making hydrogen cars. Hopefully, we can achieve some good results in our research so that we can make it happen. I’m optimistic, but it’s difficult to look into the future. One of the exciting things about doing research is that it’s always surprising 🙂 Thanks for the question.
