Welcome
to The Hydrogen Production And Utilization Laboratory!
Hydrogen possesses certain beneficial characteristics and detriments when
used as combustion fuels for transportation. The benefits include lower
greenhouse gas emissions depending on the production source and high energy
density per mass. The challenges include a low energy density per volume,
need for high pressure storage containers, and a lack of an established
supporting infrastructure. With these characteristics in mind, the University of California, Davis Hydrogen Production
and Utilization Laboratory aims to research methods of lower cost hydrogen
production and implementation.
Where are we located?
The Hydrogen Production And Utilization
Laboratory is a part of the Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering
Department at UC Davis. The laboratory is currently located in 1236
Bainer Hall on the main UC Davis campus.
