A young man can produce enough hydrogen from his urine in a year to power a car for 2,698 kilometres, thanks to a process called electrolysis. This involves extracting hydrogen from the urea present in urine by passing an electric current through it. The electrolysis process splits the urea molecules into hydrogen and oxygen, and the hydrogen produced can be used as a clean fuel source. This method offers a unique and sustainable way of generating hydrogen, which is typically used for fuel cells in vehicles. While this may sound like a futuristic concept, it demonstrates the potential of utilising waste materials like urine to produce renewable energy. It also highlights the ongoing research into alternative energy sources to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
