MINNEAPOLIS, MN -- Researchers at the University of Minnesota claimed recently to have discovered a method of producing hydrogen from ethanol that is efficient enough to potentially serve as an economical source of hydrogen. The engineers used an automotive fuel injector to vaporize a mixture of ethanol and water, and then used a catalyst to convert that vapor into a mixture of hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and other byproducts.

The researchers claim a unit small enough to fit in a person's hand would be able to generate enough hydrogen to fuel a one-kilowatt fuel cell, capable of powering an average home. ...
