How to invest in solar energy

Europe could build a network of hydrogen filling stations for cars next generation for only 3,500 million euros in the next 15 years - far less than what was thought Initially, the study revealed the following.
The cost of building a new distribution system for cars with hydrogen combustion emits only water vapor is often mentioned as a potential obstacle to the technology that may someday allow the use of obsolete oil engines and diesel.

But the study commissioned by the German industrial gases group Linde and carried out by energy consultancy e4tech and Imperial College in London, concluded that the cost of raising 2,800 hydrogen stations across the continent was manageable.
"The results of this study are a clear sign for us," said the president of Linde, Wolfgang Reitzle said in a statement. "A transition to hydrogen economy is feasible."
The study, presented at a conference in Berlin, left open the question of who would foot the bill for the net, but Linde spokesman said energy companies and the automotive industry would to lead the project.
"It would certainly be welcome if we could also support the political world," he said, suggesting that governments should promote the transition to cleaner energy freeing them from taxes.
The report assumes that about 6.1 million hydrogen cars will run on European roads by 2020. Deposit plans to build stations in densely populated areas and along highways first, which would initially to 120 million Europeans - a third of the population - access to hydrogen fuel.
service stations could support fuel cell cars that use the chemical reaction between hydrogen and air to generate electricity and emit only water vapor as well as those using hydrogen in conventional engines.
Linde also proposed to install about 35 new hydrogen bombs on German highways linking Berlin, Leipzig, Munich, Stuttgart and Cologne to create great test bed for hydrogen powered vehicles.
This could help Europe compete with the campaigns in California and Japan to develop real networks of hydrogen, it said.
Only about 500 cars currently circulating hydrogen test, and officials say the costs have to fall drastically before they become commercially viable. This means that manufacturers must increase the volume, simplifying technology and cut the cost of material.
