EISG Grant Number: 00-32
PIER Area: Strategic Energy Research
Principal Investigator: Zoe Ziaka
Contact information: (818) 893-4292 zoeziaka@aol.com
Organization: Individual
Grant Amount: $75,000
Grant Term: 18 Months
Project Description:
Proposes to research the feasibility of using a catalysis reaction to convert waste gas streams containing CO2 and methane to CO and hydrogen of which the hydrogen could be used in fuel cells.
Proposed Outcomes:
· Developed selective catalyst
· Production of synthesis gas from reforming of secondary and waste hydrocarbon streams
· Completed evaluation of the process for integration to turbines, fuel cells or synthesis gas
Anticipated Benefits:
· Increased production of Hydrogen
· Projected energy savings in the range of 20-30%
· Abatement of CO2 mixtures, which lowers greenhouse gas emissions
