Duke engineers devise new way to produce clean hydrogen
Duke University engineers have developed a novel method for
producing clean hydrogen, which could prove essential to weaning society off of
fossil fuels and their environmental implications.
While hydrogen is ubiquitous in the environment, producing
and collecting molecular hydrogen for transportation and industrial uses is
expensive and complicated. Just as importantly, a byproduct of most current
methods of producing hydrogen is carbon monoxide, which is toxic to humans and
animals.
