Solar panels produced in the capital
Solar power can be used to create new fuels that can be combusted (burned) or consumed to provide energy, effectively storing the solar energy in the chemical bonds. Among the possible fuels researchers are examining are hydrogen, produced by separating it from the oxygen in water, and methane, produced by combining hydrogen and carbon dioxide.
