A new method of producing hydrogen and methane using renewable sources, namely microalgae, has been uncovered in breakthrough research.
Using reactive flash volatilisation (RFV), a gasification technology, the greenhouse gas emissions of hydrogen production using microalgae is 36% less compared to the steam reforming of methane – the current best-practice for hydrogen production.
Researchers at Monash University, IITB-Monash Research Academy Mumbai, and The Indian Institute of Technology Bombay conducted the study.
An international research team has devised a new way to produce hydrogen and methane with significantly reduced carbon footprint using microalgae.
Researchers at Monash University’s Department of Chemical Engineering, IITB-Monash Research Academy Mumbai, and The Indian Institute of Technology’s Department of Chemical Engineering have used reactive flash volatilisation (RFV) gasification technology to produce hydrogen using microalgae, giving r
