LSBU researchers investigating metal hydride hydrogen storage for buses

Green Car Congress

Researchers from London South Bank University (LSBU), School of the Built Environment and Architecture, are investigating the use of metal hydrides to absorb, release and store hydrogen for fuel cell buses. Hydrogen is stored by reaction with a metal to form a hydride (exothermic reaction). From Adelhelm & Jongh (2011).

Researchers Propose Solar-Driven Biomass Gasification Pathway for Synthetic Fuel Production

Green Car Congress

The researchers modeled the production of methanol, which can be used directly as transport fuel or as input for DME and FT-diesel synthesis. Hot syngas from the gasifier is cooled and cleaned, then compressed to the reformer (methane reforming) and the reverse water gas shift (Re-WGS) reactor. CO 2 charge @ $100/tC.
