Electric power and useful chemicals co-generation

该项目旨在设计和开发一种燃料电池反应堆，该反应堆可以利用天然气和煤层气等丰富而廉价的气态化石燃料，同时产生电力和增值有用的化学物质。该项目预计在使用化石燃料发电过程中实现零温室气体排放，同时为先进的能量转换和存储设备开发高效电催化剂开辟了新的战略。该项目开发的新技术将为燃料电池工业的商业可行性带来新的突破。

This project aims to design and develop a fuel cell-reactor that can simultaneously produce electric power and value-added useful chemicals by utilising abundant and cheap gaseous fossil fuels such as natural gas and coal-seam gas. This project expects to realise zero greenhouse gas emissions during the use of fossil fuels to generate electricity, meanwhile opening up a new strategy in the development of highly efficient electro-catalysts for the advanced energy conversion and storage devices. The new technology developed in this project will lead to new breakthroughs in the commercial viability of fuel cell industries.
