Achieving a successful transition to hydrogen-powered vehicles in the U.S. automotive market will require strong and sustained commitment by hydrogen producers, vehicle manufacturers, transporters and retailers, consumers, and governments. The interaction of these agents in the marketplace will...

The H2A Production Model analyzes the technical and economic aspects of central and forecourt hydrogen production technologies. Using a standard discounted cash flow rate of return methodology, it determines the minimum hydrogen selling price, including a specified after-tax internal rate of...

High temperature fuel cells are a promising technology for ultra-low emission power generation. This paper presents a novel poly-generating system capable of greater than 80% (LHV CH4) co-production efficiency with carbon capture and liquefaction. The proposed system synergistically integrates...

This study presents a detailed kinetic mechanism conducted by CHEMKIN for the homogeneous decomposition of SO3–H2O vapor in the sulfur–iodine cycle. The kinetic mechanism involving 27 reactions and 11 species was validated by experimental results. The effects of temperature, SO3/H2O ratio,...

Hydrogen production from ethanol by non-thermal arc discharge was investigated in a novel miniaturized plasma reactor. It is observed that ethanol–water mixture was converted into hydrogen, carbon monoxide and other products. The V–I characteristic was recorded by an oscilloscope to study...

Methanol decomposition over alkali-leached Ni3Sn powder at 513–793 K was investigated. Compared with untreated Ni3Sn, alkali-leached Ni3Sn had high catalytic activity and selectivity toward H2 and CO production above 633 K. A maximum H2 production rate of...

The study investigates alternative energy scenarios for Bozcaada island, Turkey. The island has good wind and solar energy potentials while connecting to the grid. So, it is considered a grid connected and standalone system in the study. The system consists of a photovoltaic (PV) array, a wind...

Based on the transposon-mutagenized library of Pantoea agglomerans BH18, mutant screens were conducted to obtain the strain with the highest Fe (III) reduction and hydrogen production. Of these transposon-mutagenized mutants, the mutant strain TB230 was screened for high Fe (III)-reducing...

In the future, the importance of hydrogen as an energy carrier could grow. Oil refining, injecting hydrogen into pipelines to decarbonize natural gas, or using hydrogen as a fuel are some of the possible applications. Combining hydrogen with CO2 to produce valuable products could also be a way...

Western Canada is endowed with considerable reserves of deep un-mineable coal, which can be converted to syngas by means of a gasification process called underground coal gasification (UCG). The syngas can be transformed into hydrogen (H2) through commercially available technologies employed in...
