Researchers use chemical looping process to produce hydrogen from hydrogen sulfide gas

Green Car Congress

Herein, we demonstrate a sulfur looping scheme in a one-reactor system using a low-cost and environmentally safe iron-based sulfur carrier. The team first used chemical looping on coal and shale gas to convert fossil fuels into electricity without emitting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. —Jangam et al.
