Purdue researchers use rhenium based catalyst to produce hydrogen
31 August 2005Researchers at Purdue have used a rhenium based catalyst to produce hydrogen gas from water. Costs associated with the process are still high but high volume production could make the process economically feasible.
We have discovered a catalyst that can produce ready quantities of hydrogen without the need for extreme cold temperatures or high pressures, which [...]
Hydrogen from Used Oil
3 June 2005How do we produce enough hydrogen to fuel the hydrogen car? What do we use as a feedstock? Researchers at the Florida Solar Energy Center are working on a method to extract hydrogen from used automotive lubricating oil. Instead of a waste product, used oil can now be transformed into hydrogen and old oil [...]
Hydrogen economy still far off
7 April 2005The lure of the hydrogen economy is great and no one argues the benefits. The hurdles to hydrogen production are the stumbling block:
However, obtaining the vast volumes of hydrogen gas that would be needed to drive the world’s transport systems and feed remote power stations is still a massive challenge. And given that the whole [...]
