Toyota debuts hydrogen-fueled Corolla race car as auto racing begins shift

  OYAMA, Japan (AP) — In a sprawling circuit near Mount Fuji, a humble
  Corolla running on liquid hydrogen has made its racing debut, part of a
  move to bring the futuristic technology into the racing world and to
  demonstrate [80]Toyota’s resolve to develop green vehicles.

  Toyota Chairman Akio Toyoda, resplendent in a fire-resistant racing
  uniform, was all smiles as he prepared to buzz around the circuit in
  the hydrogen-fueled Corolla.

  “This is a world first for a liquid hydrogen car to race. We hope it
  will offer another option in the fight against global warming. To bring
  everyone smiles, I want to go one lap, even one second, more,” said
  Toyoda, a [81]former CEO of Toyota, grandson of the automaker’s founder
  and a licensed race driver himself.

  The hydrogen Corolla race car won’t be turning up at your dealer
  anytime soon. The Super Taikyu 24-hour race at Fuji Speedway was just a
  test for the technology, Toyota officials said.

AI chips are hot. Here's what they are, what they're for and why investors

  Unlike electric vehicles, it has a combustion engine, but it burns
  liquid hydrogen instead of gasoline.

  Japanese automaker Toyota Motor Corp., which sells about 10 million
  vehicles a year, has fallen behind in the [83]global shift to
  battery-powered EVs, but it’s been banking on hydrogen as a potentially
  carbon-neutral solution for years.

  Experts say hydrogen holds great potential. But so far, much of
  hydrogen, including what’s used to fuel the Corolla racing car, is made
  using fossil fuels such as natural gas.

  Soaring fuel prices and concerns over global warming have added urgency
  to the search for alternative energy sources especially in Japan, which
  imports practically all its oil.

  Auto racing has been moving to leave its growling gas-guzzlers behind.
  Toyota rival [84]Honda Motor Co. recently said it’s returning to
  Formula One racing, saying new regulations are an opportunity for
  research on new technologies. Other automakers, including General
  Motors Co., have made similar commitments.

  At last week’s event, Pierre Fillon, president of the Automobile Club
  de l’Ouest, which organizes Le Mans, announced that [85]24 Hours of Le
  Mans, the world’s most famous endurance race, will be open to
  hydrogen-powered cars using both fuel cells and combustion engines
  starting in 2026.

  “Hydrogen for me is a very interesting solution for the future,” Fillon
  told reporters. “We have to move for mobility to zero emissions. This
  is very important for our planet and our children.”

  Toyota Chief Executive [86]Koji Sato said he hoped to make an
  announcement soon about Toyota’s participation in Le Mans.

  The discussion on green-energy solutions has just begun, said John
  Heywood, a professor emeritus and automotive engine expert at MIT,
  noting that EVs also have drawbacks such as the need for critical
  materials often obtained in environmentally or ethically damaging
  circumstances.

  “There is nothing ‘ungreen’ about the internal combustion engine. It’s
  the fuel that it uses that matters,” Heywood said.

  The hydrogen used for Toyota’s race car is made at a coal gasification
  plant in Australia and is delivered by Iwatani Corp., a Japanese energy
  company, as part of a Japanese government-backed project to promote use
  of hydrogen for a variety of industries, including those using fossil
  fuels.

  Green hydrogen is created when renewable energy sources power an
  electrical current that runs through water, separating its hydrogen and
  oxygen molecules through electrolysis. The process doesn’t produce
  planet-warming carbon dioxide, but less than 0.1% of global hydrogen
  production is currently created in this way, according to the IEA.

  Critics say it might be better to just use that renewable energy, than
  use it to make hydrogen. But proponents of hydrogen say even those made
  from natural gas can be ecological sound when carbon emissions are
  trapped and buried underground.

  Sato acknowledged the challenge.

  “What we need to do first is to create an environment for using
  hydrogen. For hydrogen use to become widespread, that environment must
  be solid, and it’s important the cycle of that system is working in all
  steps, including transporting it and making it,” he told reporters on
  the sidelines of the race.

  There are other pitfalls apart from the green-ness of hydrogen’s
  credentials.

  In March, a Toyota vehicle fueled by liquid hydrogen caught on fire
  during a test run for a race at the Suzuka circuit, which hosts the
  Formula One Grand Prix and other races.

  Hydrogen leaked from a pipe loosened by the vehicle’s vibrations and a
  leak sensor worked properly, shutting off the hydrogen in less than a
  tenth of a second. No one was hurt, the cabin was protected, and the
  fire was contained, according to Toyota.

  Of the dozens of cars taking part in the Fuji Speedway 24-hour race,
  Toyota’s No. 32 Corolla was destined to lose. Refueling and checks in
  the pit so crucial to racing took several minutes, an eternity in a
  race where contestants are fighting for seconds.

  Still, the debut of liquid hydrogen in racing may be one small step
  forward, said Tomoya Takahashi, president of Toyota’s Gazoo Racing Co.

  “This is about building for the future. Electric cars are not the only
  answer, and the internal combustion engine holds potential,” he said.
