Abstract

Hydrogen is an energy source for a fuel cell power generation system. It can be continuously produced if sustainable and renewable fuels (such as alcohols, vegetable oils, and used cooking oils) are used. Thermal plasma hydrogen reformer (H2- Reformer), which has fuel-flexible and high volume production capabilities, is a critical key component for production of hydrogen as energy use. We have developed such a 1-kWe H2- Reformer that effectively reforms different types of renewable energy sources and water. Technically it is basically a steam reforming of hydrocarbons using thermal plasma. No catalysts are used in the reformation. The reformation is very effective for heavy hydrocarbon fuels.
