Hydrogen fuel cells (H2–FCs) are promising devices for pollution-free and efficient power production. Renewable H2 from biomass is often produced through catalytic ethanol steam reforming (ESR), which requires a steam/ethanol ...

Bioethanol and Beyond: Advances in Production Process and Future Directions discusses the advances in the production process of bioethanol, ranging from first to fourth generation bioethanol. Bioethanol is currently applied ...

A silicon micromonolith of 7 mm diameter and 0.2 mm length containing 1.5 million regular channels with a diameter of 3.3 μm was used for obtaining hydrogen through ethanol or bio-ethanol steam reforming (ESR) and oxidative ...

Hydrogen is recognized as a promising green energy source, particularly when used to feed a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Here, hydrogen was obtained by bioethanol steam reforming with CO and CO2 as primary ...

A pseudo dynamic rigorous model of a bio-ethanol processor system (BPS) to produce hydrogen for feeding a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEM-FC) is presented. The main contribution of this work is to give the overall ...

In this study several alternatives for process integration of bioethanol from sugar cane and hydrogen production were evaluated. Bioethanol was produced above all in the fermentation of sweetened juice from sugar cane, ...

This work presents a novel framework for fault-tolerant control design to achieve a safe and reliable production of hydrogen from bio-ethanol, which includes: (i) a nominal controller (NC) for fault-free operation, (ii) a ...
