Experimental Investigation of Carbon Black Properties Produced by the Thermal Decomposition of Methane in the Products of Premixed Flames
DownloadFall 2018
The thermal decomposition of methane is a technique used to manufacture hydrogen gas and carbon black. The physical properties of carbon black produced by the thermal decomposition of methane (TDM) in the O2-deficient gas products of two premixed flames (propane- or methane-air) were investigated...

Initial experimental and theoretical investigation of solar molten media methane cracking for hydrogen production
Download2014-01-01
Paxman, D., Trottier, S., Nikoo, M., Secanell, Marc, Ordorica-Garcia, G.
Previous work assessed the fundamental technical and market risks associated with the development and deployment of solar fuels technology in Alberta. It identified methane cracking in solar-molten media as the hydrogen production technology featuring the best combination of technical risk,...

Life cycle assessment (LCA) of hydrogen production from underground coal gasification (UCG) with carbon capture and sequestration (CCSA)
Download2015-01-01
Western Canada is endowed with considerable reserves of deep un-mineable coal, which can be converted to syngas by means of a gasification process called underground coal gasification (UCG). The syngas can be transformed into hydrogen (H2) through commercially available technologies employed in...

Life Cycle Assessment and Greenhouse Gas Abatement Costs of Hydrogen Production from Underground Coal Gasification
DownloadSpring 2015
Large amounts of hydrogen (H2) are required for the upgrading of bitumen from oil sands to produce synthetic crude oil (SCO). Currently, natural gas is used in the bitumen upgrading industry to produce H2 through steam methane reforming (SMR). This process has a significant life cycle greenhouse...

Ghandehariun, Samane, Kumar, Amit
Hydrogen is a key input to industrial processes. In western Canada, there is a significant demand for hydrogen for industrial purposes, both to upgrade bitumen and as a chemical agent. The key driver for this research is the need to assess options for the energy industry to lower its carbon...
