Renault Announces Launch of Its Hydrogen Car, A Concept Made with 70% Recycled Materials. The Hydrogen-Powered Car Will Also Be 95% Made from Recyclable Materials

Renault announced last Wednesday (11) that it plans to launch its new hydrogen-powered car, with a reveal date set for May 19. The concept focuses on sustainability and will be made with 70% recycled materials and 95% recyclable materials. Initially, Renault only showcased the interior and exterior of the vehicle. Inside, the hydrogen car features a dashboard with a multi-screen layout, different textures on the steering wheel, and seats with extended headrests. Outside, the vehicle has a lit Renault logo.

It’s not possible to know much about the vehicle for now, but it is already observable that the front is composed of a divided headlight and a hood with a detailed design.

It is still unclear whether the vehicle is an SUV or a hatchback. Renault, which works with hydrogen fuel cell technology, providing production vans through HYVIA, may have in this hydrogen car a common combustion engine that could be converted to use hydrogen as fuel, as was done by Toyota with its GR Yaris.

According to Luca de Meo, CEO of Renault, the model will also receive an electric version, in addition to the hydrogen one. It is possible to see, from the teaser released by the brand, traces of the Megane, primarily in the shape of the headlights and the hood.

The vehicle features cameras in the side mirrors replacing traditional mirrors and has a front end that resembles the company’s new subcompacts. The brand’s executive also emphasized that the hydrogen-powered car is much more than a design study and states that the company plans to bring the model to reality.

Renault Zoe Equipped with a Tank Carrying 200 Liters of Fuel Combining Hydrogen and Manure

Stepping away from the automaker itself, last week an electric Renault Zoe was equipped with a tank carrying 200 liters of fuel that combines hydrogen and manure, setting a record by traveling 2,055.68 km on a single charge.

The vehicle was developed by ARM Engineering, based in France, and uses a renewable synthetic methanol known as G-H3, which has characteristics that allow it to power electric cars through a dedicated cell.

The record achieved by the modified Renault Zoe was obtained on the Albi circuit in France, with the vehicle reaching 50 km/h. By using the biomass and hydrogen-based fuel, the vehicle’s range was essentially five times greater than what was offered by the raw electric model, at about 385 km. The vehicle spent three days on the track to cover over 2,000 km. Five drivers took turns at the wheel from seven in the morning until midnight.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

The coastal El Niño is not the classic El Niño, but it already raises a question in Brazil: can the phenomenon alter rain, heat, and winter?

The commander of the Brazilian Army publicly admitted that the country now perceives real threats in South America, something that, according to him, did not exist in the past, and advocates for the increasing use of drones and technology to secure the borders.

In China, even those who beg on the street already have a QR Code, paper money has practically disappeared from daily life in just ten years, and the entire country has come to live on invisible payments via mobile phones.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Scientists considered detonating 213 nuclear bombs in the Sahara to create an artificial sea the size of El Salvador, with each explosion being a hundred times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, and the goal was to generate more energy than Egypt’s largest hydroelectric plant.
