Highly efficient and stable Ru-free catalyst for hydrogen generation from ammonia

Green Car Congress

Although the thermocatalytic ammonia decomposition reaction (ADR) is an effective way to obtain clean hydrogen, it relies on the use of expensive and rare ruthenium (Ru)-based catalysts, making it not sustainable or economically feasible. A complete ammonia conversion to hydrogen was achieved at an economically feasible 450 ?C

Study shows uncovers how beetle gut microbes serve as reactor for fuel production

Green Car Congress

Understanding how the gut microbiome populations interact to deconstruct lignocellulosic materials to sugars or potential biofuels such as hydrogen and methane could potentially aid in the optimization of industrial cellulosic degradation. —Jennifer Pett-Ridge, a Lawrence Livermore National Lab biogeochemist and a co-author.
