NEMESIS2+ (New Method for Superior Integrated Hydrogen Generation System)

Kurzfassung

Within the 3-year project NEMESIS2+ a small-scale hydrogen generator capable of producing 50 Nm3/h of hydrogen from biodiesel and diesel will be developed. Dezentraliced hydrogen production from liquid fuels offers a number of advantages like high energy density and infrastructure already being available. Besides, it is economically advantageous in areas where hydrogen cannnot be cost-effectively supplied by a central production plant. The NEMESIS2+ consortium was able to show the feasibility of hydrogen production from biodiesel and diesel by means of steam reforming at elevated pressures. Special emphasis is placed on developing an innovative desulphurization conept based on liquid phase adsorption. Long-term stability of the reforming catalyst is the most critical part of the project. Effort in the second project period will be increased in order to further improve catalyst lifetime.
