The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Indore has made a significant advancement in hydrogen production by developing a catalyst to generate pure hydrogen from methanol at a substantially lower temperature of 130 degrees Celsius, in contrast to the traditional method requiring more than 200 degrees Celsius. The catalyst, a substance that accelerates a chemical reaction without being consumed, enables the production of one kilogram of hydrogen from 13 litres of methanol. This innovation is poised to revolutionize the energy sector by offering a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution to reduce reliance on fossil fuels such as diesel and petrol. Spearheaded by Professor Sanjay K Singh, the technology has received a patent and is undergoing discussions with the industry for future commercialization. The development opens up avenues for industrial and commercial applications, heralding a promising shift towards sustainable energy practices.
