Materials Requirements for Advanced Energy Systems - New Fuels. Volume 3: Materials Research Needs in Advanced Energy Systems Using New Fuels

Abstract : This program sought to identify materials-critical aspects of the use, production, transportation, and storage of new fuels derived from nonfossil sources. Hydrogen was the principal new fuel studied; hydrogen-derived fuels considered were ammonia, hydrazine, boranes, silanes, carbon monoxide, and methyl alcohol. The materials implications of the use of oxygen (produced as a by-product in hydrogen generation) as a fuel oxidizer and of the use of active metals in batteries were also examined. Volumes 1 and 2 are not available for public release.
