A zero-emissions refuelling station for hydrogen-powered cars - claimed to be the first of its kind in the country - has opened.
ITM Power created the site at the Advanced Manufacturing Park near the M1 in Rotherham.
It uses electricity generated by a wind turbine to split water into its constituent parts: hydrogen and oxygen.
A hydrogen car could now fill up with enough fuel for it to reach London from South Yorkshire, the company said.
Rebecca Markillie, of Sheffield based ITM, said: "It's the perfect solution. It's a clean fuel utilising wind power, we start with water and end with water".
A hydrogen-powered car only emits water vapour as it runs...

Very impressive video presentation. Where do I sign up?

Very impressive
If you like ground up wildlife? They're splitting a lot more than H2O. They have to destroy the earth, to save it.
It takes a village!
License to Kill: Wind and Solar Decimate Birds and Bats
According to a study in the Wildlife Society Bulletin, every year 573,000 birds (including 83,000 raptors) and 888,000 bats are killed by wind turbines — 30 percent higher than the federal government estimated in 2009, due mainly to increasing wind power capacity across the nation.[i] This is likely an underestimate because these estimates were based on 51,630 megawatts of installed wind capacity in the United States in 2012 and wind capacity has grown since then to 65,879 megawatts.[....]
Conclusion
Despite bird and bat deaths at wind and solar farms, few have been fined for violating the law while oil and electric generating companies have paid heavily for such violations. It will be interesting to see if this will change as the wind and solar industries grow.

First of all this has been possible for 50+ years or longer, so get a grip. Second, not a word about cost (Gee, I wonder why?).
"Toyota: Hydrogen Fuel Will Be Costly August 20th, 2014 by Christopher DeMorro
Originally posted on GAS2
Toyota is one of the most outspoken proponents of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, even ditching its partnership with Tesla Motors to focus on the Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle. But even with generous incentives, fueling hydrogen fuel cell vehicles won’t be cheap, with a full tank of the clean-burning fuel costing around $50, reports Ecomento.
That’s what Toyota’s Senior VP of North America Bob Carter said at the recent JP Morgan Auto Conference, claiming that cost estimate comes directly from the Department of Energy. He says the cost will eventually fall to about $30, which is about on par with the cost to fuel many high-mileage compact cars. For example, my 2012 Chevy Sonic 1.4T costs on average about $35 to fill, and gives me 300 miles of driving range, which is what the Toyota Mirai is claiming.
From the onset though, hydrogen fuel will remain nearly twice as expensive as gasoline it seems, though the Department of Energy is funding research to accelerate price parity with gasoline. But from the onset, filling up a hydrogen fuel cell car is going to be costly, moreso than even gasoline.
