ECOtality and ASU launch R&D hydrogen generation project

ECOtality, which specialises in eco-friendly technology, is to embark on a research and development project into regeneration solutions for magnesium oxide with Arizona State University (ASU).

The project will examine and assess potential technologies to determine the most efficient and cost-effective approach to converting magnesium oxide back to magnesium, which the company has identified as having potential as a carrier of energy for on-demand hydrogen generation.

One of the principal areas on which the research will focus is the use of solar energy in the conversion process, which could eliminate the need to use carbon-based sources.

Jonathan Read, president and CEO of ECOtality said: "Arizona State University is a dynamic research institution with great strengths in chemical engineering and photovoltaic technology. Their expertise in this area will contribute tremendously to our on-going research on the use of hydrogen as one of the alternative renewable energies.

"This project is a continuation of our full process development for on-demand hydrogen and hydrogen storage design to create a complete commercial system."

Dr Edward Hall, associate dean for research in the Ira A Fulton School of Engineering at ASU, will be the principal director of the project.

Meanwhile, Dr Jerry Y S Lin, chairman of the technology committee for ECOtality and professor and interim department chair of chemical engineering at ASU, will be charged with overseeing the day-to-day progress of the research.
