Integrated Ethanol and Hydrogen Production
The EERC has developed a technology resulting in a reduction of feedstock cost of up to $0.30/gallon when ethanol processing is integrated with hydrogen production in an integrated facility.

The EERC has developed a technology that takes advantage of the ethanol-refining process conditions to produce hydrogen at a lower cost than typical liquid reforming. Activities are ongoing to evaluate a variety of operating conditions, primarily pressure, to reduce the overall cost of hydrogen production.
