Kyoto Eyes Garbage-Based Hydrogen For Power Generation
Sunday, November 27, 2005
"Japan's ancient city Kyoto has launched a pilot project to generate electricity by fuel cells that use hydrogen derived from raw garbage of households as a power source. There are already research projects on biomass power generation, but this is the first attempt in Japan to produce hydrogen from raw garbage for use in fuel-cell power generation. Organizers of the project, also participated by Kyoto University and the Environment Ministry, aim to put their garbage-based power generation scheme into practical use in 2013. The project uses a daily 3 tons of raw garbage to produce biogas made up primarily of methane gas, for conversion into hydrogen." Source: fuelcellsworks.com
