에너지원으로서 수소를 생산하기 위하여 하니컴 구조를 갖는 모노리스에 10 wt% $Ni/CeO_2-ZrO_2$ 촉매를 담지한 후 메탄의 수증기 개질 실험을 수행하였다. 다른 $CeO_2/ZrO_2$ 몰비를 갖는 촉매들 중에서, $Ni/CeO_2-ZrO_2(CeO_2/ZrO_2=4/1)$촉매가 $700-800^{\circ}C$에서 높은 메탄의 전환율을 보여 주었다. 10wt% $Ni/CeO_2-ZrO_2$ 촉매가 담지된 금속 모노리스 촉매체는 높은 열전도도와 비표면적들로 인하여 좋은 촉매 특성을 보여줌을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 금속모노리스 촉매체는 반응물에서 과다의 수증기에 의한 수소 수율에서 크게 영향을 받지 않음을 알 수 있었다. $GHSV=30,000h^{-1}$, 반응물 비$(H_2O/CH_4=3.0)$ 반응온도 $800^{\circ}C$에서 금속모노리스 촉매체는 98%이상의 메탄의 전환율을 보여주었다. 생성물 가스에서 $CO_2/CO$의 비는 수증기/메탄의 반응물비가 증가할수록 수성가스화 반응에 의하여 증가됨을 알 수 있었다.

With the increased interest in renewable energy, various hydrogen production technologies have been developed. Hydrogen production can be classified into green, blue, gray, and pink hydrogen depending on the production method; each method has different technical performance, costs, and CO₂ emission characteristics. Hence, selecting the technology priorities that meet the company strategy is essential to develop technologically and economically feasible projects and achieve the national carbon neutrality targets. In addition, in early development technologies, analyzing the technology investment priorities based on the company's strategy and establishing investment decisions such as budget and human resources allocation is important. This study proposes a method of selecting priorities for various hydrogen production technologies as a specific implementation plan to achieve the national carbon neutrality goal. In particular, we analyze key performance indicators for technology, economic feasibility, and environmental performance by various candidate technologies and suggest ways to score them. As a result of the analysis using the aforementioned method, the priority of steam methane reforming (SMR) technology combined with carbon capture & storage (CCS) was established to be high in terms of achieving the national carbon neutrality goal.

In this study, economic analysis program was developed for economic evaluation of hydrogen production, storage/delivery, and utilization technologies as well as overseas import of hydrogen. Economic analysis program can be used for the estimation of the levelized cost of hydrogen for hydrogen supply chain technologies. This program include five hydrogen production technology on steam methane reforming and water electrolysis, two hydrogen storage technologies (high compressed gas and liquid hydrogen storage), three hydrogen delivery technologies (compressed gas delivery using tube trailer, liquid hydrogen, and pipeline transportation) and six hydrogen utilization technologies on hydrogen refueling station and stationary fuel cell system. In the case of overseas import hydrogen, it was considered to be imported from five countries (Austraila, Chile, India, Morocco, and UAE), and the transportation methods was based on liquid hydrogen, ammonia, and liquid organic hydrogen carrier. Economic analysis program that was developed in this study can be expected to utilize for planning a detailed implementation methods and hydrogen supply strategies for the hydrogen economy road map of government.

As the impacts of global climate change become increasingly apparent, the reduction of carbon emissions has emerged as a critical subject of discussion. Nuclear power has garnered attention as a potential carbon-free energy source; however, the rapidity of load following in nuclear power generation poses challenges in comparison to fossil-fueled methods. Consequently, power-to-gas systems, which integrate nuclear power and hydrogen, have attracted growing interest. This study presents a preliminary design of a very high temperature reactor (VHTR) integrated blue hydrogen production process utilizing DWSIM, an open-source process simulator. The blue hydrogen production process is estimated to supply the necessary calorific value for carbon capture through tail gas combustion heat. Moreover, a thermodynamic assessment of the main recuperator is performed as a function of the helium flow rate from the VHTR system to the blue hydrogen production system.

Synthesis gas is commercially produced by a steam reforming process. However, the process is highly endothermic and energy-consuming. Thus, this study was conducted to produce synthesis gas by the partial oxidation of methane to decrease the energy cost. Supported Ni catalysts were prepared by the impregnation method. To examine the activity of the catalysts, a differential fixed bed reactor was used, and the reaction was carried out at $750{\sim}850^{\circ}C$ and 1 atm. The fresh and used catalysts were characterized by XRD, XPS, TGA and AAS. The highest catalytic activity was obtained with the 13wt% Ni/MgO catalyst, with which methane conversion was 81%, and $H_2$ and CO selectivities were 94% and 93%, respectively. 13wt% Ni/MgO catalyst showed the best $MgNiO_2$ solid solution state, which can explain the highest catalytic activity of the 13wt% Ni/MgO catalyst.

KIER has been developing a Ru-based preferential oxidation catalysts and a novel fuel processing system to provide hydrogen rich gas to residential PEMFCs system. The catalytic activity of Ru-based catalysts was investigated at different Ru loading amount and different support structure. The obtained result indicated that 2 wt% loaded Ru-based catalyst supported on ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ showed high activity in low temperature range and suppressed the methanation reaction. The developed prototype fuel processor showed thermal efficiency of 78% as a HHV basis with methane conversion of 92%. CO concentration below 10 ppm in the produced gas is achieved with separate preferential oxidation unit under the condition of $[O_2]/[CO]=2.0$. The partial load operation have been carried out to test the performance of fuel processor from 40% to 80% load, showing stable methane conversion and CO concentration below 10 ppm. The durability test for the daily start-stop and 8 h operation procedure is under investigation and shows no deterioration of its performance after 50 start-stop cycles. In addition to the system design and development.

Nickel-doped lanthanum cobalt oxide (LaCo_1-xNi_xO_3-δ, LCN) was investigated as an alternative anode material for solid oxide fuel cells. To improve its catalytic activity for steam methane reforming (SMR) reaction, Ni²⁺ was substituted into Co³⁺ lattice in LaCoO₃. LCN anode, synthesized using the Pechini method, reacts with yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolyte at high temperatures to form an electrochemically inactive phase such as La₂Zr₂O₇. To minimize the interlayer by-products, the LCN was coated via a double-tape casting method on the Ni/YSZ anode as a catalytic functional layer. By increasing the Ni doping amount, oxygen vacancies in the LCN increased and the cell performance improved. CH₄ fuel decomposed to H₂ and CO via SMR reaction in the LCN functional layer. Hence, the LCN-coated Ni/YSZ anode exhibited better cell performance than the Ni/YSZ anode under H₂ and CH₄ fuels. LCN with 12 mol% of Ni (LCN12)-modified Ni/YSZ anode showed excellent long-term stability under H₂ and CH₄ conditions.

본 연구에서는 촉매가 들어있는 고정층 반응로의 단일 개질관에 대하여 전산 유체 해석(Fluent ver. 13.0)을 수행하여 열/유동 특성을 파악하고, 주입 가스에 따른 추출 가스의 종류를 다공성에 따라 예측하였다. 촉매 형상을 모델링하기 위하여, 개질관 내부에 있는 촉매를 모두 다공성 물질이라고 가정하고, 수정된 Eugun 식을 해석에 적용하였다. 유체의 공극률을 기준으로 0.545, 0.409, 그리고 0.403로 설정하고, 결과를 비 다공성인 경우와 비교하였다. 수치해석 결과, 개질관 벽면의 온도는 흡열반응과 주변 열전달로 인하여 개질관의 온도보다 높게 나타나며, 수소 생성량도 다소 증가했다. 촉매의 공극률이 증가 하게 될 경우, 압력 강하로 인하여 관 중심부 온도 및 수소 생성량이 현저하게 감소하는 경향을 보였다.

화석연료는 사용 후 재생이 불가능하고 매장량이 한정되어 있으며, 연소 시 발생되는 각종 공해물질로 인해 환경문제를 야기하고 있다. 이러한 맥락에서 차세대 청정대체에너지로서 주목을 받고 있는 것이 바로 수소에너지이다. 현재 가장 경제성이 있는 수소제조방법으로 알려진 천연가스 Steam Reformig(SRM)은 천연가스의 매장량 한계성으로 인해 그 제조비용이 높아지고 있어, 바이오매스 및 유기성 폐기물의 가스화를 통한 수소생산방법이 자원의 재순환, 페기물 처리, 열원의 이용, 직접적인 $CO_2$ 삭감 등의 부수적인 효과가 높아 경제성 있는 수소제조법으로 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 잠재적으로 고갈 염려가 있는 화석연료를 대체하고, 화석연료의 연소 시 발생되는 환경문제를 해결하고자 열분해로와 고온개질기로 구성된 Pilot-scale Two Stage Gasifier를 개발하고, 본 장치 내에서의 biomass의 가스화 특성을 평가하고자 한다. 열분 해로에서의 가스화 실험 결과, 열분해로의 전환율은 약 70%로 나타났으며, $H_2$, $CH_4$, CO, $CO_2$의 평균 생성량은 각각 16.7, 11.3, 37.2, 26.6 L/mim의 결과를 보였다. 고온개질기로부터의 생성가스 수율의 결과로부터, 고온개질기에 적용된 $1100^{\circ}C$의 초고온에서의 개질 반응에 의해 $CH_4$의 대부분이 환원됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구로부터 개발된 장치의 냉가스 효율은 53.2%로 비교적 높은 결과가 얻어졌으며, 수소에 대한 평균 생성량은 55.4 L/min의 결과를 보였다.
