Efficient Hydrogen Fuel Generation Technology from SPERI, Korea

Scientist conducting research in to CO2 reduction and other forms of greenhouse gases control at SPERI, S&P Energy Research Institute has come out with a lower cost Hydrogen generation.
Dr. Sen Kim who is a member of European Academy of Natural Science has been developing methods to scrub green house gases from sources.
The research has revealed that the low energy bondage between greenhouse gases CO2, CH4, or N2O also extend to the Hydrogen in the water vapor (H2O). So according to a press release by the S&P Energy Research Institute, it will be a profitable Hydrogen generation. Profitable in the sense of amount of energy spent in the process. Currently the favorite method of Hydrogen generation is by electrolysis. The electrolytic method uses 4-4.5 kwh energy for getting 1 cubic meter of hydrogen. The new method of SPERI, use 0.1 kwh for the same volume of hydrogen. This is will make the use of Hydrogen in energy generation actually feasible. Currently even though Hydrogen is one of the cleanest method, that is offset by dirty energy spent generating it.
With this method, it will be much easier to have very clean hydrogen based energy generation.

Dr. Sen Kim said “Our laboratory tests show that CO2, CH4, or N2O was dissociated by low energy. We also confirmed that hydrogen (H2) and vapor(H2O) was dissociated with similar efficiency (90% or more). Traditionally hydrogen is made by electrolysis. The electrolytic method uses 4-4.5 kwh energy for getting 1 cubic meter of hydrogen. Our method uses 0.1 kwh for the same volume of hydrogen. As known the high cost of electrolytic H2 does not allow to use it as a fuel."
