It is well known [1] that hydrogen (H2) as the environmentally friendly fuel is considered to be one of the future most promising energy sources. Recently, interest in hydrogen energy has increased significantly, mainly due to the energy consumption increase in the world, and recent advances in the fuel cell technology. According to the prognosis, in the next decades, global energy consumption will be increased by 59%, and still most of this energy will be extracted from the fossil fuels. Because of the traditional fossil fuels depletion, today there's a growing interest in renewable energy sources (f.e. – bioethanol, biodiesel). Bioethanol can be obtained from the renewable biomass, also it can be easily and safely transported due to its low toxicity, but it's not a very good fuel. Modern biodiesel production technologies are characterized by a high percentage of waste (bioglycerol) which is hard to recycle. |
