Study finds autothermal reforming with WGS reactor preferred option for on-board reforming of biodiesel and bioethanol

Green Car Congress

A study by a team at the German Aerospace Center (Deutschen Zentrums für Luft- und Raumfahrt, DLR) identified autothermal reforming in combination with a water gas shift reactor as the preferred option for on-board reforming of biodiesel and bioethanol into a hydrogen-rich gas suitable for high temperature PEM (HTPEM) fuel cells.

Although Co-based catalysts have higher activity and selectivity to long chain hydrocarbons compared to Fe-based catalysts, Fe-based catalysts are much less expensive than Co-based catalysts and active for the reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction. Thus, note the researchers, Fe-based F?T Unfortunately, in conventional low temperature F?

Its early September and the aspens are starting to turn yellow. We gather under a tarp to boil water for our dinners. Thick clouds are building again, so we quickly descend, filter the lakes cold water and set up camp, then head out to scout our first photo point , Bald Lake. Soon the road will see snowfall.
