Kawasaki’s hydrogen-powered Ninja H2 SX recently made its public debut and definitely made a good impression. Power comes from a modified 998cc inline-four supercharged engine with a specially developed fuel supply system that injects hydrogen.
Specially designed hydrogen fuel tanks contain high-pressure gas containers that are filled with hydrogen at the rear of the bike. This means that the motorcycle still burns a small amount of engine oil, but the only other byproduct is water.

Hydrogen engines produce power like conventional gasoline engines: air is taken in, mixed with fuel, and then combusted. Being able to feel the air enter while interacting with the engine adds to the rider’s enjoyment of controlling the bike. When hydrogen combusts, water is produced. If you hold your hand near the tailpipe, you can feel it is moist. It is a very gentle engine – like a humidifier on wheels,” said Satoaki Ichi, project leader.
