Oil producers showing rising interest in hydrogen – pv magazine International

A team led by CoorsTek Membrane Sciences has demonstrated a system to convert methane via proton ceramic reactors, while Nel Hydrogen Electrolyser has received an order from an undisclosed Indian refinery for an alkaline electrolyzer, in a deal that underscores how oil and gas companies are becoming increasingly interested in the hydrogen sector. May 10, 2022 Sergio MatalucciCoorsTek Membrane Sciences has led a team of Norwegian researchers to demonstrate a 36-cell reactor stack enabled by a new interconnect. The team claims it achieves “complete conversion of methane with more than 99% recovery to pressurized hydrogen.” The optimized reactor solves two problems related to scaling proton ceramic reactors (PCERs): matching the spatial distribution of heat from compression with the extent of chemical reactions through a stacked reactor, and the lack of interconnect materials with…
