Vasilios Manousiouthakis, a professor of chemical and biomolecular
engineering at the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied
Science, has been awarded $2.1 million in grant funding to build a
state-of-the-art hydrogen fueling station on the UCLA campus. A $1.7 million grant from the California Air Resources Board (CARB)
and a $400,000 grant from the state's Mobile Source Air Pollution
Reduction Review Committee (MSRC) will go toward the construction of
one of the largest hydrogen fueling stations in California, with a
capacity to produce 140 kilograms of hydrogen a day for use
in hydrogen-powered vehicles...
Major energy providers and automotive manufacturers view hydrogen-powered fuel-cell vehicles as the most sustainable mobility solution in the long term. Manousiouthakis, a systems engineering expert who focuses on the development of novel hydrogen production methods, believes that hydrogen production based on the reforming of natural gas - a process that involves the endothermic transformation of natural gas and water into hydrogen and carbon dioxide - is the most economical route for hydrogen production today.
