Onboard, self - powered, hydrogen on demand from liquid fuel is way more practical than using conventional land -
based electrolysis to supply ultra high pressure tanks with the bulky gas.
Not exact matches
So any competing process, even if it's greener, must hit that production cost, which rules out
electrolysis based on platinum.
They concluded that it could be feasible to produce hydrogen in factory - scale
electrolysis facilities at costs ranging from $ 1.60 and $ 10.40 per kilogram — competitive at the low end with current practices
based on methane — though some of their assumptions were
based on new plant designs and materials.
Electrolysis is much more efficient than traditional heat -
based smelting methods, because it is a single - step continuous process, Sadoway explains.
Electrolysis has a bright future, according to Shane Stephens, chief development officer and principal at FirstElement Fuel, a California -
based startup that was awarded $ 28 million by the CEC to build 19 hydrogen stations throughout the state.
«We think that to get real zero - emission vehicles, and that's on a well - to - wheel
basis, having renewable electricity producing the hydrogen is really the most environmentally friendly and sustainable way to produce hydrogen,» said Steve Szymanski, director of government business for the
electrolysis system manufacturer Proton OnSite.
This process could form the
basis of a practical solar - energy storage system, Nocera says, in which electric current from a solar cell passes through water to the catalyst, breaking the water into oxygen and hydrogen through
electrolysis.
«This catalyst will pave the way for the development of high - performance,
electrolysis -
based hydrogen production applications.»

Electrolysis Electrolysis of Aqueous Solutions It not only covers and explains important aspects of this topic, but also includes questions within the powerpoint for students to complete for themself!
But that is
based on producing hydrogen by
electrolysis.
All we need is a bio-tech
based system for taking hydrogen from
electrolysis and CO2 from the air and creating methane.
