Cascade from methanol to hydrogen

Metha-Cycle decouples wind power from electricity demand

05-Oct-2020 - Chemists at the Leibniz Institute for Catalysis (LIKAT) in Rostock are able to produce hydrogen from methanol under mild conditions of less than one hundred degrees Celsius and ambient pressure, with the yield and purity required for fuel cells. To achieve this, they optimized a proprietary ...
