Objetivo
HYDROFUELER facilitates the use of hydrogen as a transport fuel using the existing gas infrastructure and substituting hydrogen-refuelling systems for gasoline stations. Regulatory frameworks are in place now to facilitate the changeover. The project will deliver a design specification for an innovative efficient compact unit for production of hydrogen for fuelling hydrogen powered fuel cell vehicles. The key components are a catalytic reactor based on intensified heat exchangers for the conversion of natural gas to synthesis gas and a novel separation system to produce hydrogen of the required quality. The design will enable manufacture and production of automated small scale, distributed hydrogen generators to overcome barriers against a European hydrogen-fuelling infrastructure. There is a substantial reduction in aggregated emissions with improved fuel efficiency and lower costs.
