First-of-Its-Kind Solar-Driven Ethylene And Hydrogen Production Revealed

H2 News | June 13, 2024 | By Tami Hood https://www.hydrogenfuelnews.com/solar-ethylene-hydrogen-production/8565237/

A groundbreaking research collaboration between Hydrofuel Canada Inc. and the Solar Fuels Group at the University of Toronto has yielded a pioneering method for producing ethylene and hydrogen from ethane using sunlight. This innovative approach, detailed in a recent paper published in Nature Energy, offers a sustainable alternative to the conventional energy-intensive and carbon-emitting process of steam cracking.

Harnessing Sunlight for Cleaner Production

The research, spearheaded by Dr. Rui Song under the guidance of Professor Geoffrey Ozin, introduces a novel solar-driven catalytic process that leverages light to convert ethane, a component of natural gas, into ethylene and hydrogen without emitting any CO2. This method not only mitigates the environmental impact of ethylene production but also presents a renewable pathway for hydrogen generation.
