The Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC) at the University of North Dakota is leading a project to demonstrate the production of hydrogen at existing and future ethanol facilities in a unique, economical way, providing a near-term path toward a hydrogen economy. The hydrogen produced could be used on-site in fuel cells to provide additional power for the plant or as fuel for hydrogen vehicles.
Although this isn't a new item, it is interesting in that if it is perfected and commercialized it would lower the cost of ethanol production and improve it's energy balance.
