The Indian Institute of Technology, Indore (IIT-I), has successfully developed a groundbreaking process for producing purified hydrogen from methanol at significantly reduced temperatures, offering a promising alternative to traditional fossil fuels in the clean energy transition. Led by Professor Sanjay K Singh and PhD student Mahendra K Awasthi, the research team introduced a catalyst enabling hydrogen gas production from methanol at just 130 degrees Celsius, a substantial improvement over the typically required 200-degree temperatures. This advancement enhances both the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of hydrogen production, making it more economically viable for various applications. The innovation, which has obtained a patent, has the potential to revolutionize the hydrogen economy globally and aligns with initiatives aimed at reducing carbon emissions and addressing climate change. Professor Singh highlighted the sustainability and affordability of the new process, emphasizing its capability to produce 1 kg of hydrogen from only 13 liters of methanol. The team is currently in talks with potential industry partners to bring this technology to the market, recognizing its significant societal impact in promoting cleaner energy sources, reducing reliance on fossil fuels, and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. By offering a sustainable use of methanol for hydrogen production, the technology also aligns with the growing interest in methanol as a fuel blender in India, providing a promising pathway towards a greener and more efficient energy future.
