Emirates team creates green hydrogen catalyst
A research team from the University of the Emirates developed a green catalyst made from desert sands and biochar derived from date pit kernels, with the addition of nickel, aimed at hydrogen production and clean energy applications. Tests showed that the optimal formulation, consisting of 15% nickel, 42.5% sand, and 42.5% biochar, achieved a conversion rate of approximately 38% for methane to hydrogen at temperatures between 500 and 600 degrees Celsius. This material is relied upon to enhance hydrogen production processes by utilizing local resources and developing more sustainable catalysts, with plans for further testing to ensure long-term stability and efficiency.
