Pictured making its debut at Silverstone: 乐天堂app下载 world's first hydrogen-powered racing car, sponsored by 乐天堂app下载 Royal Society of Chemistry.

乐天堂app下载 car will be a major feature of this year's National RSC Chemistry Week Tour in November which will include a low-carbon road show taking in nine venues including 乐天堂app下载 University of Hertfordshire, where a specialist unit has designed and built 乐天堂app下载 vehicle. More details of Chemistry Week and 乐天堂app下载 racing car sponsorship are available from Pauline Meakins at 乐天堂app下载 RSC . 

乐天堂app下载 new car, which can touch 130 mph and accelerate from 0-60 in 3.2 seconds, was demonstrated at 乐天堂app下载 grand prix circuit as part of 乐天堂app下载 Formula Student race weekend organised by 乐天堂app下载 Institution of Mechanical Engineers. 

乐天堂app下载 university reports that 乐天堂app下载 car will produce zero carbon dioxide emissions, will be fuelled by hydrogen from farm waste and will be equally as fast as a petrol-fuelled vehicle. 

It was made in 乐天堂app下载 university's new Sustainable Energy Technologies Centre at Hatfield, a campus which has for decades produced talent entering 乐天堂app下载 UK and international automotive industries. 乐天堂app下载 university now has at least one graduate working on every Formula 1 racing team. 

Team member John Goddard, working on his UH PhD said this week: "Usually if a car is run on hydrogen we would expect it to lose performance but in this case we have found a way to get optimum performance from 乐天堂app下载 engine."
