Juliech researchers have been working on making ceramic membrane where pure hydrogen can be separated from carbon dioxide and water vapor. Then, the hydrogen will be used as a clean energy carrier. Membrane systems like this are efficient because they are able to separate gases. This method sounds promising other then a few minor flaws. One of them being the need for high temperatures. High temperatures allow the hydrogen to separate. Therefore, the need for high temperature means the need for a lot of energy. Researchers say that it is too early yet to start talking about industrial application.
After reading this article, I am excited and feel that this ceramic membrane is promising towards the future. However, I am also skeptical because something could easily go wrong along the way because they are completely sure about certain aspects yet. I hope that everything works out smoothly to allow it to be about industrial use. It is reassuring to see promising technological innovations help out our environment. Clean energy is definitely of importance in present-day life.
