Hydrogen, if produced from a renewable source such as water, is a promising solution to the climate change and global energyneed. Meanwhile, thanks to its various energy conversion technologies through either powering fuel cells or fuelling engines andturbines, hydrogen is a green fuel to transportation and power generation. The challenges exist to distribute and store hydrogenwith the desired energy density and required safety. Cleanwave is a technology company currently developing on demandhydrogen energy products. The existing research and development focus is optimizing and controlling catalyzed aluminum waterreactions for utilization of the heat and hydrogen produced for transportation and power production. Through this OCE fundedproject, the University of Waterloo will work with Cleanwave and target a couple critical technical issues such as reactantsformulation and process control, which hinder the commercialization of their hydrogen production technology. Upon the completionof this project, the research and development will be extended to design and scale up the reactors for difficult applications.

氢，如果从可再生资源，如水，是一个有前途的解决方案，气候变化和全球能源需求。同时，由于其各种能量转换技术，无论是通过驱动燃料电池或燃料发动机和涡轮机，氢是一种绿色燃料的运输和发电。以所需的能量密度和所需的安全性分配和储存氢气存在挑战。Cleanwave是一家技术公司，目前正在开发按需氢能源产品。现有的研究和开发重点是优化和控制催化铝水反应，以利用产生的热量和氢气用于运输和发电。通过这个OCE资助的项目，滑铁卢大学将与Cleanwave合作，针对一些关键的技术问题，如反应物配方和过程控制，这些问题阻碍了他们的制氢技术的商业化。该项目完成后，研究和开发将扩大到设计和扩大反应堆的困难应用。
