Waste hydrogen fuel

Hydrogen has long been considered to be the best material for a new alternative energy source that is free from pollution and can be obtained without restrictions. However, hydrogen cannot be polluted unless it is manufactured using a manufacturing process like nature. However, most of the recent hydrogen is produced using a process similar to the manufacture of fossil fuels. Now chemical engineers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have developed a method for producing hydrogen from plants. This new hydrogen energy source is pollution-free, non-flammable and can be transported in the form of sugar. The manufacturing process of hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and alkane from sugars, in which hydrogen accounts for 50%. After the ethylene glycol and methanol have been purified, they can be completely converted to hydrogen. Researcher Randy Cortright stated that "carbon dioxide is a by-product, but plants can fix carbon dioxide that was previously emitted during the manufacture of hydrogen." Because of the large waste of sugar resources, for example, inexpensive paper mill waste, cheese, Whey, cereal hay, and wasted wood. The research professor James Dumesic said that although hydrogen production from more refined molecular sources is higher, producing hydrogen from the wasted sugar biomass is a more economical option. Prof. Dumesic further pointed out that the by-product alkane gas can be used as fuel for internal combustion engine or solid oxide combustion chamber, so the extra energy needed for this hydrogen manufacturing process will be very low. Since this new process is in the lower temperature liquid phase (227 degrees Celsius), the manufacturing process does not require evaporation of moisture. This means that it can save a considerable amount of energy compared to the production of ethanol or other traditional hydrogen manufacturing processes.
