In this work a novel reactor concept referred to as Membrane-Assisted Chemical Looping Reforming (MA-CLR) has been demonstrated at lab scale under different operating conditions for a total working time of about 100 h. This reactor combines the advantages of Chemical Looping such as CO2 capture and good thermal integration with membrane technology for a better process integration and direct product separation in a single unit which in its tur Read More

The EAH Team takes a break from standard format on this special episode of Everything About Hydrogen to discuss some of the geopolitical factors and considerations driving the evolution of global hydrogen markets.The podcast can be found on their website

Water electrolysis (WE) is a highly promising approach to producing clean hydrogen. Medium-temperature WE (100–350 ◦C) can improve the energy efficiency and utilize the low-grade water vapor. Therefore a high-temperature proton-conductive membrane is desirable to realize the medium-temperature WE. Here we present a polyvinyl chloride (PVC)-poly(4vinylpyridine) (P4VP) hybrid membrane by a simple cross-linking of PVC and P4VP. The pyridi Read More

Hydrogen constitutes the only carbon-free fuel that can be used for energy conversion producing water as the only by-product. With water being one of the most abundant and inexhaustible raw materials in the world and the required electricity input being provided by renewable resources the produced hydrogen via water electrolysis constitutes a green pathway towards sustainability. In this work a hybrid PV power-to-hydrogen storage and fuel cell system i Read More

Lean premixed swirl combustion is widely used in gas turbines and many other combustion Processes due to the benefits of good flame stability and blow off limits coupled with low NOx emissions. Although flashback is not generally a problem with natural gas combustion there are some reports of flashback damage with existing gas turbines whilst hydrogen enriched fuel blends especially those derived from gasification of coal and/or biomass/industrial Read More

Hydrogen is considered one of the main gaseous fuels due to its ability to improve thermal performance in diesel engines. However its influence on the characteristics of lubricating oil is generally ignored. Thus in the present investigation an analysis of the effect on the physical and chemical properties of lubricating oil with mixtures of diesel fuel–hydrogen was carried out and the environmental impacts of this type of mixture were assessed. The dev Read More

This review critically evaluates the latest trends in fuel cell development for portable and stationary fuel cell applications and their integration into the automotive industry. Fast start-up high efficiency no toxic emissions into the atmosphere and good modularity are the key advantages of fuel cell applications. Despite the merits associated with fuel cells the high cost of the technology remains a key factor impeding its widespread commercialization. Ther Read More

The recent detection of natural hydrogen seeps in sedimentary basin settings has triggered significant interest in the exploration of this promising resource. If large economical resources exist and can be extracted from the sub-surface this would provide an opportunity for natural hydrogen to contribute to the non-carbon-based energy mix. The detection and exploration of hydrogen gas in the sub-surface is a significant challenge that requires costly drilling s Read More

On this episode of Everything About Hydrogen Jan Klawitter Head of International Policy for Anglo American speaks with Andrew Chris and Patrick about Anglo American's strategy for decarbonizing its mining operations and how they plan to use hydrogen and fuel cell technologies as a key part of their approach.The podcast can be found on their website

The hydrogen energy system based on the multi-energy complementary of renewable energy can improve the consumption of renewable energy reduce the adverse impact on the power grid system and has the characteristics of green low carbon sustainable etc. which is currently a global research hotspot. Based on the basic principles of hydrogen production technology this paper introduces the current hydrogen energy system topology and summarizes th Read More
