Methanol vehicle hydrogen production

Initially, pure hydrogen gas could be used for fleet vehicles, which includes delivery trucks, taxis and buses and onboard reformed methanol could be the fuel for passenger cars. Fleet vehicles are usually served by large garages with trained staff and could have the facilities for in-house hydrogen production. Without the reformers, fleet vehicles could be less complex and would be able to work within the range limitation of on-... [Pg.135]

The world production of methanol is currently estimated to be about 27 million (metric) tons per year (1995). The methanol synthesis consumes about 5 % of the world hydrogen production. Methanol is basically used in the chemical industry as an intermediate product ( Cl chemistry ). It is gaining further attention as a secondary energy carrier with less CO2 emission, e.g., as a direct vehicle fuel or as a basis for the production of hydrogen-rich gas to feed fuel cells. [Pg.170]

In addition to the Wacker oxidation catalysts, supported eutectic molten salt CuCl/KCl-based catalyst systems have also been examined for other processes including, for example, production of synthesis gas from methanol for the use as on-board hydrogen production in vehicles [57] and quantitative combustion of chlorinated hydrocarbons to COx and HCI/CI2 at ambient pressure (200-500 °C) with silica-based systems [58,59]. [Pg.533]

Some 10% of the world s demand for methanol is used as fuel for direct combustion. Since the first oil crisis in the 1970s methanol has been claimed as a potential substitute for fuel. Although this promise has not turned to reality yet, methanol has been studied intensively as energy carrier for on-board hydrogen production in mobile applications using fuel cell powered electrical vehicles. [Pg.695]

Methanol may serve as a bridge to direct hydrogen, but more hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are appearing. Rapid advances in direct-hydrogen storage and production could push any liquid fuel out. [Pg.183]

Iceland may start with methanol powered PEM vehicles and vessels. The University of Iceland is involved in research on the production of methanol (CH3OH) from hydrogen combined with carbon monoxide (CO) or C02 from the exhaust of aluminum and ferrosilicon smelters. This would capture hundreds of thousands of tons of CO and C02 released from these smelters. If this is combined with hydrogen generated from electrolysis using renewable power, Iceland could cut its greenhouse gas emissions in half. [Pg.275]

Although liquid hydrogen, LH2, can be used as a fuel source, much of the recent fuel cell research is focusing on the partial oxidation of methanol, natural gas, ethanol, or gasoline to produce the necessary hydrogen. Catalysts that aid in the partial oxidation of these fuels yields a readily available, rich source of hydrogen. Water is the primary exhaust emission produced by fuel cell powered vehicles. If a carbon-based fuel source is utilized, then a carbon-containing by-product will also be produced. [Pg.307]

However, one application where gold could be most applied is in fuel cells used in electric vehicles, with operating temperatures of 80-100 °C. Another field of application for supported gold catalysts is the production of hydrogen by steam reforming of methanol. [Pg.481]
