Currently hydrogen is produced using electricity, over 80% of which is
generated by burning fossil fuels - therefore generating lots of CO2.

Honda say:

"CO2 emissions related to the production of hydrogen vary by source;
however, well-to-wheel CO2 emissions using hydrogen reformed from natural
gas - the most widely used method of production today - are less than
half that of a conventional petrol vehicle. With the production of hydrogen
from water by electrolysis, CO2 emissions can be further reduced and
ultimately approach zero if the electricity is generated from sustainable
sources, such as solar, wind, hydro and wave power."

which sounds fantastic - but then it would from them wouldn't it

Interesting they don't mention nuclear as an option...

Interesting that they chose to mention natural gas, which is a vanishing
resource, and one whose cost and availability is subject to the whims of
a certain Russian Prime Minister and former President who is soon to be
president again. ;-)
