GTI Successfully Converts Ethanol Into Hydrogen

Fuel Cells Today, Nov 2, 2004

The Gas Technology Institute (GTI) recently announced that, after six months of testing, its two-step steam reforming-shift fuel processor has successfully converted ethanol into hydrogen.

GTI said it hopes to utilize ethanol as the primary fuel to produce hydrogen in a hydrogen fueling station platform as well as for stationary fuel cell demonstrations.

"We believe GTI is now strongly positioned to develop and deploy both stationary and transportation energy systems utilizing ethanol to hydrogen reformation," said GTI Hydrogen Systems Center executive director Gerry Runte. "We were able to produce a high-quality hydrogen gas from ethanol, similar to results using natural gas, and demonstrated our process to representatives of the Renewable Fuels Association (RFA)."
