3 Programmatic overview EMPA Zurich 3/28/07 3
4 Why alternative fuels? Reduce dependence on foreign oil Harness domestic renewable energy sources Create new opportunities for domestic agriculture Create clean air in cities Reduce transportation costs by improving energy efficiency Reduce greenhouse gas emissions Develop sustainable transportation in U.S. What are alternative fuels? Ethanol (from corn, wood, ) Natural gas* (NG; from domestic gas fields, deep-sea methane hydrate fields, landfills, biomass); 85% of NG used in U.S. is domestic Biodiesel (from soybeans, vegetable oils, ) Hydrogen* (from NG, water & electricity, coal, ) Electricity (from coal/nuclear/hydroelectric/solar/wind power plants) * ALL-CRAFT At pump: ~$1.25 less than equivalent gallon of gasoline EMPA Zurich 3/28/07 4
5 How do alternative fuels work together? U.S. energy consumption World energy consumption EMPA Zurich 3/28/07 5

John Flavin, Lacy Hardcastle Cintia Lapilli, Jeff Pobst, Robert Schott Demetrius Taylor, Mikael Wood MU, Chemistry Jerry Atwood Praveen Thallapally,Trevor Wirsig MU, Chemical Engineering Mona-Lisa Banks (Lincoln University) Joshua Bulloc, Sean Crockett Tarek Dannoon, Matt Factor, Mike Gordon Monty Kemiki (Penn State University) Parag Shah, Serean Spellerberg Mustafa Yousif (Alabama A&M U.)

Alicante, Spain Rusty Sutterlin, Renewable Alternatives LLC Jim Wegrzyn, Brookhaven National Laboratory EMPA Zurich 3/28/07 7
8 What we do Develop low-pressure, high-capacity storage technologies for natural gas (NG, methane, CH 4 ) and hydrogen (H 2 ), based on new adsorbent materials discovered at MU: nanoporous carbon from waste corncob in Missouri ( sponge for NG ) calixarene ( crystalline vacuum pump ) Demonstrate low-pressure, flat-panel NG tank for next-generation clean vehicles (NG internal combustion engines) hydrogen fuel cell cars (no hydrogen infrastructure needed) collection of NG from landfills ( pollutant to renewable energy ) large-scale shipping of NG from Alaska and deep-sea methane hydrate fields (reduction of dependence on foreign oil) Develop low-pressure, flat-panel H 2 tank for hydrogen fuel cell car Funded by: NSF Program Partnerships for Innovation MU, MRI, Advanced Photon Source/DOE, DED/GAANN EMPA Zurich 3/28/07 8
9 Where it all started 1.4 nm Van der Waals attraction in nanopores forces NG into liquid-like dense fluid (170 g/l at 35 bar) EMPA Zurich 3/28/07 9
10 Why are nanopores important? Binding energy: 17 kj/mol In narrow pores, van der Waals potentials overlap; create deep energy well: Max. CH 4 capacity in pores of width 1.1 nm (Nicholson, 1998). Molecules are held in tightpacked configurations. EMPA Zurich 3/28/07 10
11 Why are nanopores important (cont. d)? Width ~6 Å ~3.7 Å Width ~11 Å Width ~22 Å EMPA Zurich 3/28/07 11
12 Current natural-gas vehicles Low emission of hydrocarbons ( ozone, smog), NO x, particulate matter. Up to 40% reduction of CO 2. NG stored as compressed natural gas (CNG) in steel or composite cylinders at 250 atm (3600 psi). Clean Cities Coalitions: / Los Angeles: 1500 CNG buses Kansas City: 200 CNG public utility vehicles U.S.: 130,000 CNG vehicles worldwide: over 5 million CNG vehicles EMPA Zurich 3/28/07 12
13 Why are we not already driving NG-fueled cars? High-pressure cylindrical/spherical tanks take up passenger or trunk space. CNG cylinders in transit bus: Only NG passenger car in U.S.: Honda Civic GX; CNG tank in trunk: Goal: Develop low-pressure (35 atm, 500 psi), flat-panel tank, like gasoline tank. Store NG in nanoporous carbon; pores adsorb NG like a sponge: ANG tank EMPA Zurich 3/28/07 13
14 Best flat-panel tank previously Atlanta Gas Light Adsorbent Research Group (AGLARG), 1997: Adsorbent: monolithic activated carbon ( briquettes ) from peach pit; troublesome maintenance of consistent quality of briquettes; binder blocks pores AGLARG 1997 AGLARG tanks in bed of NG Dodge Dakota ALL-CRAFT: Monolithic carbon, with superior performance, from corncob. Missouri corn can supply raw material for NG tanks of all cars in the U.S. EMPA Zurich 3/28/07 14
15 Performance of ALL-CRAFT tank Target pressure for flat tank: 35 bar (35 atm, 500 psig *); without adsorbent, pressure would have to be 150 bar, much more than what a flat tank can bear DOE target capacity: 118 g/l (volume CH 4 at 25 o C & 1 bar, per volume tank: 180) AGLARG tank: 98 g/l ALL-CRAFT target: >100 g/l achieved! DOE target achieved! DOE target; best ALL-CRAFT carbon AGLARG capacity Adsorbent Filled Tank (ANG) ALL-CRAFT 2007 Empty Tank (CNG) *) 500 psi: pressure in NG pipelines EMPA Zurich 3/28/07 15
16 Recovery of biomethane from landfills and farms Landfills: largest human-made source of methane (CH 4 ) in U.S. Landfill gas (LFG): ~ 50% CH 4, ~ 50% CO 2 CH 4 : 20 times more potent greenhouse gas than CO 2 Capture CH 4 at landfill: pollutant to renewable energy If no power plant: recover CH 4 in 60,000 pound ANG tanks Annual CH 4 emission from landfills in U.S.: Could power 4 million homes: $5 billion/yr Greenhouse equivalent to emission from 90 million cars (~1/2 of cars in U.S.) If captured, equivalent to planting forest 2 x area of MO EMPA Zurich 3/28/07 16
