Varanasi, March 14 : The department of chemical engineering and technology at the Banaras Hindu University (BHU) , has developed a membrane reformer prototype for producing ultra-pure hydrogen from methanol.
Rajesh Kumar Upadhyay of the department and his team said that it is the first such prototype in India and there are no such commercial units worldwide.
Upadhyay said that the prototype isolated 99.999 per cent pure hydrogen from a mere 15 ml/minute methanol to 13 litre/minute and succeeded in producing 1 KW of power on integration with a hydrogen fuel cell.
The Centre has recently launched the National Hydrogen Energy Mission to promote production of hydrogen from green energy resources.
Hydrogen is said to be the top clean fuel with its high energy density and versatility to replace fossil fuels.
Upadhyay said this prototype would significantly reduce fossil fuel use and carbon footprint.
