Additional information
Finding low cost, high capacity and low environmental impact materials for hydrogen storage is delaying the hydrogen economy's progress. Here, urea is shown as a novel and renewable H2 carrier, mainly due to its significant content in mammals’ urine and desirable properties (non-flammable solid, sterile). Several routes of urea production are shown, in parallel with the current infrastructure of ‘non-renewable’ urea worldwide market (fertiliser/de-NOx reagent). This work (EPSRC-JM industrial case award) added value to EPSRC’s 'DoSH2'SUPERGEN consortium and contributed to new collaboration with The University of Glamorgan.
