New proton ceramic reactor stack for highly efficient hydrogen production and carbon capture in a single step

Green Car Congress

The ceramic membrane reactor also separates carbon dioxide more efficiently, enabling the greenhouse gas to be easily transported and sequestered. The process also has a low carbon footprint. A pilot facility has been established in Dhahran in Saudi Arabia. A paper on the work is published in the journal Science.
