Decentralized Production of Hydrogen Gas from Urine

Our long term goal is to design an economical means of hydrogen gas production which can be provided at the grass-root level of rural inhabitation. Our objective in this application is to determine the optimum way of producing hydrogen using Nickel electrode to address cost reduction in energy utilization at the community level. This proposed research is potentially innovative because our design of small scale urine production with the help of electrolysis process will determine the optimum conditions for production of hydrogen using a small setup of 20 litre capacity of urine and using nickel and cadmium rod as an electrode and borax as an catalyst for producing hydrogen from urine.
