IIT Varanasi Researchers Develop India’s First Device For On-Site Production Of Ultra-Pure Hydrogen – Education News
Scientists at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), BHU claim to have developed a first-of-its-kind device in India for the on-site production of ultra-pure Hydrogen.
According to the team, at a time when India has committed to zero net emissions by 2070 at the COP26 Climate Summit this is a major development in the Nations Sustainable Development Goals, the device is 100 per cent indigenous and every component made in IIT facilities.
Rajesh Kumar Upadhyay, Associate Professor, Department of Chemical Engineering and Technology said “Easily installable in petrol pumps, some of the critical needs the device delivers include generating hydrogen for hydrogen vehicles, making charging of electric vehicles easy and supply of power to mobile towers, among others.
The compact and ergonomically designed device caters towards sustainability and portrays socio and economic benefits. It is based on membrane technology for on-site production of ultra-pure hydrogen from methanol. It generates hydrogen, which is fed to the fuel cell to generate power (electricity).”
