Conventional systems for producing hydrogen depend on fossil fuels, but the new system uses only solar energy. MIT engineers have developed a design for a system that efficiently harnesses the sun’s heat to split water and generate hydrogen.
Solar Energy, 2023; 111960 DOI: 10.1016/j.solener.2023.111960 Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "Solar design would harness 40% of the sun's heat to produce clean hydrogen fuel." ScienceDaily.
The researchers carried out detailed simulations of the conceptual design, and found that it would significantly boost the efficiency of solar thermochemical hydrogen production, from 7 percent, as previous designs have demonstrated, to 40 percent.
In an age where “ green ” energy sources are given prominence to meet net zero emissions targets, a team of MIT researchers has proposed to create completely green, carbon-free hydrogen fuel using a novel, train-like system of reactors powered entirely by the Sun. The technology uses the Sun’s heat to split water and produce hydrogen directly.
MIT engineers aim to produce totally green, carbon-free hydrogen fuel with a new, train-like system of reactors that is driven solely by the sun. In a study appearing today in Solar Energy Journal, the engineers lay out the conceptual design for a system that can efficiently produce “solar thermochemical hydrogen.”
