Thanks Ken...and it appears from websearch that Sodium borohydride itself derived from the Boron elements from its oxide such as sodium borate. Also, I read boron is a pretty good fuel alternative to carbon based. Boron is near carbon on the chemical table. Looks like boron for fuel cells is

Hi, As I remember, one of the problems with sodium and other borohydrides is that boron is a relatively scarce element if considered for use on a global scale. The main deposits are found in Turkey, Chile and Southern California (owned in the major part by Rio Tinto, and 3 other smaller
