The hurdles to making hydrogen a commercially viable energy source are not unlike those encountered when electricity, oil, or natural gas were introduced. The transmission and use of power requires infrastructure and technology specific to the fuel source — electricity requires...
For nearly a century, catalyst-impregnated ceramic pellet media has driven Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) reactions in hydrogen plants. Catacel Corporation (Garrettsville, Ohio) (www.catacel.com) has tested and perfected a new higher performance alternative — the Stackable Structural Reactor (SSR®) (Figure 1).
Zero emissions is the end game that everyone is after. To be able to drive a vehicle that emits no pollutants may not have seemed realistic a few decades ago, but with the continued development of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles,...
The 2009 National Hydrogen Conference and Expo was held in Columbia, SC from March 31 – April 3. Speakers and presenters from around the world converged in the capital city of a state known for its proactive legislation and support...
Sunny Columbia, South Carolina will be host to the 20th Annual National Hydrogen Association (NHA) Hydrogen Conference and Expo, to be held March 30–April 3, 2009 at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center.
Environmental regulations mandating cleaner air have been implemented in many industrialized countries creating demand for cleaner fuels in the refinery market.
There are a wide variety of hydrogen compressor and pump technologies in use today. Types of compressors include diaphragm, reciprocating piston, and centrifugal. Pumps for hydrogen applications consist of various kinds of positive displacement systems. Each compressor and...
In this issue, CryoGas International focuses on hydrogen, including uses, developments, markets, and players. To complement this topic, we interviewed Barney Rush, Chairman and CEO of H2Gen Innovations, located in Alexandria, Virginia. Started seven years ago, H2Gen Innovations focuses on...
Hydrogen can be produced from diverse domestic feedstocks using a variety of process technologies. Hydrogen-containing compounds such as fossil fuels, biomass or even water can be a source of hydrogen. Thermochemical processes can be used to produce hydrogen from biomass and from...
