London’s metropolitan police will use hydrogen fuel cells to power scooters in a trial of zero-emissions technology to fight crime and pollution.

The fuel cells will be supplied by Intelligent Energy Holdings Plc, according to a statement from the Loughborough, U.K.-based company. Each cell will be able to generate 4 kilowatts of electricity through a chemical reaction, about the same as a solar panel system for a family home.
