Toyota Doubles Down on Fuel Cells With Redesigned ’21 Mirai
The sensational new 2021 Toyota Mirai encapsulates the company’s state-of-the-art approach to hydrogen fuel-cell technology, wrapped in seductive new body work and equipped with the latest infotainment and driver-assistance systems.
Steam methane reforming is the most common method of producing hydrogen fuel, according to Shell’s New Energies division.
This process generates carbon emissions because it uses natural gas. Fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) require hydrogen fuel to work, and while they emit nothing but water vapor and heat, the procedure to manufacture the hydrogen has come under fire by critics of the technology and of the investment necessary to build a supporting infrastructure.
