The United States uses nine million tons of hydrogen annually. There are several drivers for high cost hydrogen, including the cost of production as well as compression and/or liquefaction required to increase the density of hydrogen to the point that it can be economically transported.
Idaho National Laboratory (INL) researchers have developed a method and apparatus to generate pressurized hydrogen using water and a variety of carbon-rich compounds.
The purpose of the invention is to provide hydrogen in a format that is usable and affordable for virtually any application.
