HYDROGEN FUEL

Although hydrogen is a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels, its use as a fuel presents several obstacles that must be overcome. It is difficult to store and distribute. No method currently exists for delivering hydrogen to households, and no infrastructure is in place to allow fuel cell-powered cars to refuel at local gas stations. Chemical engineers are heavily involved in the development of a variety of safe and technically feasible systems to produce hydrogen cost efficiently on a small scale.



  • Low-pressure and low-temperature fuel processors able to produce hydrogen from hydrocarbon fuels
  • Use of coal-derived synthetic gas as a source of hydrogen
  • Extraction of hydrogen from fossil fuels; and
  • An imaginative array of new processes based on
  • Water splitting,
  • Biomass and wastewater reforming, and
  • Renewable electrolysis.
