On-demand production of hydrogen and heat for fueling transportation and power generation
FY 2017-18 · 2017-10-18
Summary
Hydrogen, if produced from a renewable source such as water, is a promising solution to the climate change and global energy_x000D_
need. Meanwhile, thanks to its various energy conversion technologies through either powering fuel cells or fuelling engines and_x000D_
turbines, hydrogen is a green fuel to transportation and power generation. The challenges exist to distribute and store hydrogen_x000D_
with the desired energy density and required safety. Cleanwave is a technology company currently developing on demand_x000D_
hydrogen energy products. The existing research and development focus is optimizing and controlling catalyzed aluminum water_x000D_
reactions for utilization of the heat and hydrogen produced for transportation and power production. Through this OCE funded_x000D_
project, the University of Waterloo will work with Cleanwave and target a couple critical technical issues such as reactants_x000D_
formulation and process control, which hinder the commercialization of their hydrogen production technology. Upon the completion_x000D_
of this project, the research and development will be extended to design and scale up the reactors for difficult applications.
