Proteum Energy partners with University of Regina to develop hydrogen from ethanol

Proteum Hydrogen Technologies Corp. and the University of Regina have agreed to work jointly to produce hydrogen from renewable ethanol feedstock.

The project is aimed at advancing Proteum’s patented and proprietary steam non-methane reforming (SnMR™) technology, which can provide fuel cell grade clean hydrogen for heavy-duty transportation, low carbon hydrogen-rich designer fuels for power, and hydrogen for direct injection at natural gas processing plants.

As per the deal, the University’s Clean Energy Technologies Research Institute (CETRI), focuses on optimizing performance of Proteum’s commercial system for production of hydrogen from renewable ethanol feedstock.

The two-year project was awarded a matching grant from Mitacs, a nonprofit Canadian research organization cultivating partnerships between academia, private industry and government.
