The main obstacle in the commercial exploitation of water electrolysis
for large scale hydrogen production is the high electricity
consumption which makes the process economically unattractive. Prof.
Shen, from Advanced Energy Materials Research laboratory of Sun Yat-
Sen University, has developed an innovative approach, as well as an
economic way, to produce hydrogen by alcohol electrolysis. In this
way, only 1/3 electricity consumption will be required compared to
water electrolysis.

How much energy does it take to make the methanol?
