Presented at: 1st European Hydrogen Energy Conference, Grenoble, France, 2-5 september 2003.
Abstract:
A sustainable use of fossil fuels in the future will undoubtedly make
use of concepts where the energy content of the fossil fuel is transferred
to hydrogen. Separation of hydrogen using membranes can play an important
role in purification and process intensification of hydrogen production
technologies.
In ECN?s vision membranes can play a key role in future hydrogen production
systems. The driving force for these concepts is the possibility of
capturing CO2 elegantly while using the favourable thermodynamics to
increase the efficiency of hydrogen production significantly.
Applications envisaged that are currently investigated are:
- hydrogen recovery from industrial (waste) streams,
- hydrogen membrane reactors for water gas shift with parallel removal
of hydrogen,
- small-scale efficient hydrogen production with membrane reactors.
An overview of results of membrane and system development on above applications
is presented.
