According to reports, ministry of new and renewable energy ( MNRE) with goal of bringing one million fuel cell powered vehicles on the road by 2020 is supporting National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI) in developing a patented process of safe storage, transport and supply of hydrogen for such vehicles. The patent claim no 1:
An improved process for delivery of hydrogen, the process comprising dehydrogenating hydrogenated liquid organic compounds using catalyst in dehydrogenation reactor, the catalyst being heated at temperature in the range of 120-400°C, followed by separating hydrogen being evolved by cooling to temperature in the range of 2-50°C to obtain hydrogen free from any contaminant, wherein the catalyst are selected from: i. M/support wherein metal M is at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Pt, Pd, Rh, Ru, Ir, Os and said metal dispersed on support, the support is at least one metal oxide selected from the group consisting of Y203 or V205 or combinations thereof or ; ii. M-M'/support wherein metal M is at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Cu, Ag, Au; metal M' is at least one metal selected from Pt, Pd, Rh, Ru, Ir, Os, Fe, Ni, Re, Mo, W, V, Cr, Co or combinations thereof and said metals dispersed on support, the support being selected from the group consisting of activated carbon, alumina, alumite, zirconia, silica or combination thereof.
