A plentiful amount of deuterium c an be obtained from sea water, whereas almost no tritium exists in nature. Hence, it is artific ially made from lithium. The combustion of hydrogen produces only water. Therefore, hydrogen is an ideal fuel of low emission vehicles. It is also used for fuel cells, heat pumps, rechargeable batteries, etc.
Many researches are als o in progress under worldwide collaboration.
