WHITE Science Makes Strides In Development Of Hydrogen Power
SCOTS scientists claim they have achieved a breakthrough in efforts to use hydrogen to provide clean electricity.It has long been thought hydrogen could be used as a fuel, particularly for transport. If the hydrogen is produced from biofuels, its use results in very low carbon dioxide emissions.
Now a team of scientists, led by a professor from the University of Aberdeen, have achieved a leap forward in the process.
Using a catalyst, they have converted ethanol fermented from biofuels into hydrogen.
Although this has been done before, Professor Hicham Idriss, Energy Futures chairman at the University of Aberdeen, said it had never been effective as it had never been achieved without producing waste products, such as carbon monoxide, which is poisonous. It took the team of scientists from across the world, led by Prof Idriss, more than ten years to hone the technique.
