Hydrogen Production by Reforming of Logistic Diesel Fuel in Supercritical Water

Mar 23, 2010
Carsten Cremers
Compared with other fuels, diesel fuels still have significant advantages in terms of logistic properties such as energy density, availability and ease of handling. However, diesel fuels also have their draw backs. For an example, the only established technology to convert the chemical energy of...
