In our continuous effort to promote Digitalisation and Sustainability, ASPRI would like to share some technologies that may be beneficial for your organisation below.
1/2: Low-energy Carbon Dioxide-free Hydrogen Production
Green hydrogen is produced through water electrolysis, a process that separates water into hydrogen and oxygen, using electricity generated from renewable sources.
The main disadvantage of green hydrogen production via water electrolysis is (1) its high energy consumption of more than 50 kWh per kg and the need for large land areas and (2) the competition of usage for water it creates.
The proposed hydrogen production technology is based on the decomposition of methane (CH4) molecule in oxygen-free environment by low energy microwave plasma. Compared to water electrolysis, this process saves up to 5 times the energy required to produce hydrogen from methane, at competitive costs.
The process can be installed on-site, at the end of the gas infrastructure, reducing the need to invest in a new H2 infrastructure.
The technology owner is seeking OEM partners in Singapore (1) to co-develop complete solutions integrating the proposed technology for specific applications or (2) integrate the technology into industrial demonstration sites.
2/2: Enhanced Performance of Lithium-ion Batteries
Graphite anodes used in present generation lithium-ion batteries are cheap and provide a stable platform for Li-ion storage over low-high current densities over long charge-discharge cycles. However, they are limited to a low Li-storage capacity due to the simple insertion/de-insertion process.
This technology relates to a new lithium-ion battery anode with enhanced performance. The technology owner is looking for potential licensees to commercialise this technology.
