This could become massive and provide a cheap pathway to hydrogen powered cars. Transporting ammonia instead of hydrogen allows much greater economies of scale.


Two cars powered by hydrogen derived from ammonia will be tested in Brisbane today thanks to a Queensland breakthrough that CSIRO researchers say could turn Australia into a renewable energy superpower.

Key points:
Australian fuel could soon be in high demand for hydrogen-powered cars across Asia
It's the first time hydrogen cars have been powered with a fuel derived from ammonia
Both Toyota and Hyundai have invested millions of dollars into hydrogen-powered cars

CSIRO principal research scientist Michael Dolan said it was a very exciting day for a project that has been a decade in the making.
"We started out with what we thought was a good idea, it is exciting to see it on the cusp of commercial deployment," he said.
