Decentralized production of hydrogen for residential PEM fuel cells from piped natural gas by low temperature steam-methane reforming using sorption enhanced reaction concept

摘要

Decentralized generation of small-scale stationary power (< 250 KW) forresidential or commercial use has been a subject of much interest during thelast decade and many corporations around the world have engaged inresearch and development of fuel cell technology for this application. Thedriver for this technology is rapidly expanding worldwide demand for moreheating, cooling and electrical supply by increasing populations and growingeconomics.
