Ariel researchers develop new type of hydrogen generator with sodium borohydride for on-demand use

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Ariel University in Israel have developed a new type of hydrogen generator for “on-demand” use with fuel cells. Hydrogen is produced in a catalytic hydrolysis reaction of sodium borohydride (NaBH 4 ) with ruthenium powder as a catalyst. Zakhvatkin et al. —Zakhvatkin et al. 1c00367.

BGU researchers developing more efficient process for hydrogenation of CO2 to synthetic crude

Green Car Congress

Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) researchers are developing a process to hydrogenate carbon dioxide to produce a renewable alternative for crude oil. The basic idea behind the synthesis is the combination of two well-known reactions: the Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis (FTS) and the Reverse Water-Gas Shift (RWGS).
