UNIST team develops novel hydrogen production process using biomass oxidation instead of water oxidation as electron source

Green Car Congress

Korea’s Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) have developed a novel process for the production of hydrogen using various types of biomass, including lignin, as an efficient alternative to water oxidation as an electron source. Conventionally, water is considered a cheap and clean source of electrons; 2H 2 O ?

NTNU researchers use reverse electrodialysis and waste heat for hydrogen production: Heat to H2

Green Car Congress

According to the IEA says that, producing all of today’s hydrogen just using electricity would require 3600 TWh—more than the annual electricity generation of the European Union. Energy experts say that the waste heat from Norway’s businesses and industries is the equivalent of 20 TWh of energy. 1 ) at 40 ?C, kWh (104.8 ± 0.6

Novel inexpensive cobalt-nickel electrode for efficient water and urea electrolysis; yolk-shell nanoparticles

Green Car Congress

Electrolytic hydrogen production powered by renewable energy is seen as an environmentally friendly means to ameliorate global climate and energy problems. Both half reactions of water electrolysis—hydrogen and oxygen evolution—are unfortunately slow and require a lot of power. Zhang, S.L., and Lou, X.W.

Researchers team up algae and bacteria to boost hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

A team from the University of Cordoba in Spain and the University of Tehran in Iran has been searching for ways to increase hydrogen production by using microorganisms, specifically microalgae and bacteria. This knowledge may open new possibilities for the biohydrogen production from industrial wastes. —Fakhimi et al.
