Abstract
The production of hydrogen was explored in many ways such as auto thermal reforming, partial oxidation, biomass gasification, steam reforming, water electrolysis, Kvaerner process, thermochemical process and photo-biological process to utilize the high calorific value fuel for combustion in IC Engines for advanced transportation. In this paper, we have attempted the estimation of the production of hydrogen using the Proton Exchange membrane electrolyzer. The water splitting in Solar powered PEM EL is simulated and electrode kinetics is explained in detail. Scaling requirements for the production of 100 kg of hydrogen per day is presented.
Keywords: Hydrogen, Anodic reaction, Cathodic reaction, Platinum, iridium, PEM fuel cell
