(d) Centre for Process Systems Engineering, Dept of Chemical Engineering, Imperial College London, London SW7 2AZ. Abstract Hydrogen technologies have experienced cycles of excessive expectations followed by disillusion. Nonetheless, a growing body of evidence suggests these technologies form an attractive option for the deep decarbonisation of global energy systems, and that recent improvements in their cost and performance point towards economic viability as well. This paper is a comprehensive review of the potential role that hydrogen could play in the provision of electricity, heat, industry, transport and energy storage in a low-carbon energy system, and an assessment of the status of hydrogen in being able to fulfil that potential. The picture that emerges is one of qualified promise: hydrogen is well established in certain niches such as forklift trucks, while mainstream applications are now forthcoming. Hydrogen vehicles are available commercially in several countries, and 225,000 fuel cell home heating systems have been sold. This represents a step change from the situation of only five years ago. This review shows that challenges around cost and performance remain, and considerable improvements are still required for hydrogen to become truly competitive. -

Biogas Membrane Reformer for Decentralized Hydrogen Production
Biogas membrane reformer for decentralized hydrogen production Newsletter – Issue 2 – 2nd half 2016 This Newsletter Previous release Membrane & Catalysts Industrial specifications development Reference case First results @ Lab scale First membrane & First release of LCA catalyst release analysis March September March September March September 2016 2017 2018 Editorial Dear BIONICO friends I am glad to welcome you to the second project newsletter! The last project meeting was held at the end of August, allowing all the consortium members to take stock of the situation: in the second six months of the project new membranes, membrane supports and catalyst specifically designed for operating with biogas have been tested at TU/e labs and soon new promising finger-like porous asymmetric ceramic supports will be tested. The information collected allow now the Abengoa Hidrogeno engineering team to start with the design of the pilot scale reactor that will contain around 100 membranes! The scale of the project represents a strong step forward for CMR technology. Not only experimental, but also simulation work was performed by POLIMI in order to have benchmark cases for BIONICO. At the same time environmental performance of these technologies is being evaluated by Quantis, in order to demonstrate not only improved efficiency performance but also environmental ones for the BIONICO technology! I hope you will find the info in this newsletter interesting. On our website www.bionicoproject.eu you will find public presentations, all the public deliverables of the project and many other interesting news. Stay tuned!

Hydrogen Storage for Mobility: a Review
materials Review Hydrogen Storage for Mobility: A Review Etienne Rivard * , Michel Trudeau and Karim Zaghib * Centre of Excellence in Transportation Electrification and Energy Storage, Hydro-Quebec, 1806, boul. Lionel-Boulet, Varennes J3X 1S1, Canada; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] (E.R.); [email protected] (K.Z.) Received: 18 April 2019; Accepted: 11 June 2019; Published: 19 June 2019 Abstract: Numerous reviews on hydrogen storage have previously been published. However, most of these reviews deal either exclusively with storage materials or the global hydrogen economy. This paper presents a review of hydrogen storage systems that are relevant for mobility applications. The ideal storage medium should allow high volumetric and gravimetric energy densities, quick uptake and release of fuel, operation at room temperatures and atmospheric pressure, safe use, and balanced cost-effectiveness. All current hydrogen storage technologies have significant drawbacks, including complex thermal management systems, boil-off, poor efficiency, expensive catalysts, stability issues, slow response rates, high operating pressures, low energy densities, and risks of violent and uncontrolled spontaneous reactions. While not perfect, the current leading industry standard of compressed hydrogen offers a functional solution and demonstrates a storage option for mobility compared to other technologies. Keywords: hydrogen mobility; hydrogen storage; storage systems assessment; Kubas-type hydrogen storage; hydrogen economy 1. Introduction According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), it is almost certain that the unusually fast global warming is a direct result of human activity [1]. The resulting climate change is linked to significant environmental impacts that are connected to the disappearance of animal species [2,3], decreased agricultural yield [4–6], increasingly frequent extreme weather events [7,8], human migration [9–11], and conflicts [12–14]. -
Review of Synthesis Gas Processes
Review of Synthesis Gas Processes This review is extracted from the following report: SOFC AS A GAS SEPARATOR By M.A. Korobitsyn F.P.F van Berkel G.M. Christie December 2000 Synthesis gas production 1. Introduction There are a number of technologies available to produce syngas, these technologies are summarized in Fig. 1. Of the technologies shown in Fig. 1, steam methane reforming (SMR) is the most common. In this process light hydrocarbon feedstock and steam are converted in an endothermic reaction over a nickel catalyst. Heat to the reaction is provided in a radiant furnace. Due to the sulfur content in heavier hydrocarbons their use in the SMR process can cause problems with the catalysts, also there is a risk of tar and coke deposition. The second most common technology is partial oxidation (POX) which proceeds exothermically. Non-catalytic oxidation reaction allows a wider range of feedstock, however, an oxygen source is needed in most applications. Carbon dioxide reforming is a less common technology, which is primarily used for the production of syngas with a low H2/CO ratio. The combined and advanced processes, also detailed in Fig. 1, are either a combination or an enhancement of the three basic processes. In the following sections firstly the three basic processes are further described, shorter descriptions of the combined and advanced processes follow later in the section. Fig. 1 General overview of the routes from natural gas to chemicals. 2. Steam methane reforming (SMR) Background The steam methane reforming (SMR) process can be described by two main reactions: CH4 + H2O = CO + 3H2, ΔH = 198 kJ/mol (1) CO + H2O = CO2 + H2, ΔH = -41 kJ/mol (2) The first reaction is reforming itself, while the second is the water-gas shift reaction. -
