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.
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.

MISSISSAUGA, ON, March 18, 2024 /CNW/ - Hydrofuel Canada Inc. ("Hydrofuel") announces US Patent 11,885,029 "Systems and Methods for Forming Nitrogen-Based Compounds" issuance and the completion of their Micro Ammonia Production System (MAPS 1.0) commercial prototype, enabling high-yield, sustainable ammonia synthesis from air and water with unprecedented efficiency using a gas-phase electrochemical process.
The MAPS 1.0 and 2.0 technologies significantly reduce the costs and energy requirement of making ammonia (NH3) compared to traditional methods. Multiple 381 ton per year units can be combined to operate in series or parallel to increase capacity.

The US$700,000 MAPS 1.0 version uses externally produced hydrogen (H2) to synthesize with nitrogen from air to make ammonia. If the H2 source is Green, so is the NH3 it produces.
The US$850,000 MAPS 2.0 system represents a major breakthrough in the production of green hydrogen and ammonia, as it addresses one of the biggest challenges in hydrogen production - the high cost of electrolysis. By combining hydrogen and nitrogen production in a single unit, MAPS 2.0 eliminates the need for separate production processes, significantly reducing the overall cost of green ammonia and the hydrogen in it to 50% of the cost of hydrogen produced via current electrolysis technologies. All Capex and Opex costs quoted exclude any government incentives or tax credits.

MISSISSAUGA, ON, March 28, 2023 - Hydrofuel Canada Inc ("Hydrofuel"). This book is the first to cover all aspects of using ammonia for energy - from production to last use. The book explains the fundamentals and basic concepts about hydrogen and ammonia before examining their production methods. Then it covers ammonia production and storage techniques. Furthermore, the book contains case studies that demonstrate the use of ammonia technology. Ammonia energy systems are explained, and the technologies and methods used with them are explained with illustrative examples. Finally, the book lays out future directions in the development of ammonia energy systems. It is expected that the book will be of interest to all researchers and professionals interested in new energy sources.
