Heating homes and buildings with oil, propane, or natural gas costs a lot of money and pumps a lot of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. How great would it be if there was a solar panel that would convert sunlight into clean burning zero emissions hydrogen to keep us all toasty warm at home and at work? That may soon be the case after scientists in Belgium announced that they have created a solar panel that uses sunlight to make hydrogen from the moisture in the air. After 10 years of work, the solar panel can now produce up to 250 liters of hydrogen a day when the sun is shining. With 20 of these panels atop the roof of your home, it could provide enough heat and electricity to get through the winter and still have electricity left. Although the panel is still a way’s away from being produced commercially, the scientist will begin testing them shortly in a neighborhood in Belgium.
