In addition to electricity, hydrogen fuel is considered as one of the major development directions for new energy in the future, but the traditional way to generate hydrogen from methane is to generate large amounts of carbon dioxide.
According to Japanese media reports, researchers at Northeastern University in Japan recently developed a technology that uses hot springs to extract hydrogen fuel. In the process of extraction, it does not produce greenhouse gas carbon dioxide and is cleaner and more environmentally friendly.
It is understood that the technology from Northeastern University, a research team in late 2017, they let strong acidic hot water at about 50 degrees Celsius, at a flow rate of 6 liters per minute, through an aluminum container, so that both the chemical reaction Experiments show that 20 liters of hydrogen can be collected in about 3 hours.
The research team plans to launch an application experiment in 2018 to further enhance the efficiency of the reaction and to use it for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in the future.
The end of 2017, the Japanese government announced a basic strategy for hydrogen energy, the goal of 2030 to achieve commercialization of hydrogen fuel power generation.
