Indian Scientists from #ARCI have developed a method to produce hydrogen with high purity (99.99%) from a methanol-water mixture at ambient pressure and temperature that uses only 1/3 of the electrical energy required in water electrolysis. 
Hydrogen is gaining much attention due to its high specific energy value of 40 kWh/kg as compared to chemical fuels like gasoline, diesel, liquid petroleum gas (12-14 kWh/kg). The most abundant raw material containing hydrogen is water.
Water electrolysis and reformation of
Water electrolysis and reformation of
hydrocarbon like methane are common methods for production of hydrogen.
ARCI's method combines both the processes of electrolysis and reformation to produce hydrogen from methanol-water mixture by electrochemical methanol reformation (ECMR) at ambient pressure and temperature.
