Cheaper, simpler hydrogen process, from ethanol

May 31, 2011 |

In Spain, researchers from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, the University of Aberdeen and the University of Auckland announced that they made the hydrogen production process simpler and cheaper, at ambient temperature and pressure, using a fully scalable powder photocatalyst and ethanol as a feedstock.

The demonstrations have shown 5 litres of hydrogen can be produced per kilogram of catalyst in one minute including 3kw of electricity as a byproduct.
