Hydrogen-based fuel produces no greenhouse gases so could help nations slash their carbon footprint
It is due to be available at the pumps in three to five years

A revolutionary synthetic fuel which costs just 90p per gallon and will run in existing cars could spell the end of sky-high prices at the pumps.
With current petrol prices at 128.6p per litre, the new hydrogen-based fuel would offer much-needed respite for motorists.
But critics argue that it will be years before it becomes widely available.
As it is hydrogen-based, it produces no greenhouse gases at all so an added advantage is it could help nations slash the size of their carbon footprint .
It is hoped the technology, developed in a top secret programme at an English laboratory, could spell the end of dramatic petrol price fluctuations.
Cella Energy, which developed the new fuel, at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxford, is confident that it will run in existing cars.
Stephen Voller, chief executive of Cella Energy, told MailOnline he expected the fuel to be widely available in petrol station forecourts within five years.
He said: 'We hope to begin testing it with vehicle manufacturers next year and then to have it available for public use in three to give years.'

Motorists will be able to drive for 300 to 400 miles before refuelling.
Mr Voller is also optimistic that drivers will not need to modify their cars in order to use the fuel.
‘We have developed new micro-beads that can be used in an existing gasoline or petrol vehicle to replace oil-based fuels,' he told website Gizmag.

‘Early indications are that the micro-beads can be used in existing vehicles without engine modification.
