Mesophilic Fermentative Hydrogen Production from Biomass
Hydrogen is considered a possible alternative to fossil fuels. Hydrogen can be produced through dark fermentation with 1 mol hexose yielding a maximum of 4 mol hydrogen in association with acetate production, and 2 mol hydrogen in association with butyrate production. However, an economically and …

Hydrogen production via dark fermentation of carbohydrate-rich substrates
Hydrogen could replace fossil fuels for power generation and transportation and contribute to a low carbon economy. However, current methods of producing hydrogen e.g. steam methane reformation of natural gas are not sustainable and also contribute to CO<sub>2</sub> emissions.<br/><br/>Dark …

The viability and public perception of the introduction of bio-hydrogen technology to Wales with specific reference to anaerobic dark fermentation of agricultural crops
This was the first study to be undertaken to research hydrogen perception using qualitative research techniques in Wales and one of the first in the UK.<br/><br/>The public perception study identified gender differences, with women generally more accepting of hydrogen technology. The main concerns …

Novel routes for synthesis of Pd nanoparticles and faceted ZnO supports for heterogeneous catalysts
Alcohol steam reforming is a promising source of hydrogen as fuel, and could be improved by the use of an optimal catalyst. The methanol steam reforming reaction, CH3OH+H2O --> 3H2+CO2 frequently conducted by means of a Cu/ZnO catalyst. Unfortunately, this catalyst deactivates quickly and is …
