Toyota will introduce portable hydrogen cartridges at Japan's Bizweek 2024 mobility show, aiming to popularize hydrogen as a convenient and safe energy source for everyday use. These portable and lightweight cartridges represent an important innovation as they reduce the size and weight of traditional hydrogen tanks, making hydrogen more accessible for a variety of uses.
Toyota envisions that these cartridges will be used to power fuel cells that will generate electricity for homes or in remote locations where there is no other suitable infrastructure. In addition, in collaboration with Rinnai Corporation, which helped develop a hydrogen-powered cooker, they can even make hydrogen cooking possible.
Toyota also envisions these hydrogen cells acting like large AA batteries, allowing for easy swapping and recharging. This concept could benefit fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) owners, who could swap tanks instead of waiting for a refill. Toyota suggests that the cartridges could power not only vehicles, but also remote buildings and outposts, which would be a flexible solution for areas without reliable access to the power grid.
In addition to the hydrogen cartridges, Toyota will also present the hydrogen-powered GR Corolla racing car, which has been competing in endurance races since last year. The automaker is also introducing a revolutionary energy storage system designed to reuse batteries from old electric vehicles. This system reuses batteries with varying levels of wear and tear to optimize their remaining energy capacity. By combining this storage system with renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power, Toyota aims to increase the stability of the electricity supply and promote the spread of renewable energy sources.
With this development, Toyota remains committed to exploring the potential of hydrogen as a sustainable energy solution even as the use of electric vehicles continues to increase.
Only one more link in the chain is missing. Hydrogen production in the summer when photovoltaics produce surpluses because some electricity traders are crying about the surpluses of electricity. Into hydrogen, of course. After production, it can be done safely and easily, such as cooking schnopac (brandy) on the home stove.
The Slovenian Parliament should just deal with the network and the price of electricity.
Nice day

Only one more article is missing, the production of hydrogen in the summer from surplus electricity from photovoltaics. When our merchants cry that electricity is worthless in the summer, according to this logic, hydrogen is also free.
Safe and simple production of hydrogen is missing, at least as well as cooking (snoop) brandy in the homemade way and cartridges for storage, of course.
Our parliament should just deal with the network fee and the price of electricity.
Have a nice day everyone
