由於具有優異的發電效率及低污染的特性，燃料電池已被視為是未來極為重要的潔淨能源之ㄧ。氫氣是燃料電池重要的燃料來源之ㄧ，目前生產氫氣的原料主要仍以化石燃料為主。然而因京?協議書已經生效，對於已開發或開發中國家二氧化碳的減?排放設有一定的目標，因此以省能及對環境友善的氫氣生產方式是一項重要的基本課題。熱電漿氫氣重組系統藉由電漿的作用，在不需使用觸媒的條件下將碳氫化合物重組產生富氫氣體，可以直接作為固態氧化物燃料電池之燃料。若使用生質燃料如酒精、植物油等進行重組產生氫氣，即可達到二氧化碳零排放的理想。本計畫主要是提升核研所熱電漿氫氣重組系統之性能，提高氫氣產量及重組氣體中的氫氣濃度，主要工作項目包括：(1)完成電漿酒精重組系統控制單元設計與製作；(2)完成燃料進料汽化單元的設計與製作；(3)完成電漿單元設計與製作、(4)完成電漿酒精重組系統熱交換器之設計與製造及(5)完成電漿酒精重組系統整合測試。此系統完成改善後，預期將提供富氫氣體做為固態氧化物燃料電池的燃料。 High fuel-to-electricity efficiency and low pollution make fuel cells the superstar of near future energy source. Hydrogen (H2) as a clean energy is one of important fuel sources for fuel cell systems. So far, hydrogen production is likely to rely on fossil fuels. Kyoto protocol has been effective since February 16, 2005, and international standard has been set for the reduction of carbon dioxide emission for the developed and developing countries. Thus, hydrogen produced by an energy-saving and environment-friendly approach is essential. Thermal plasma hydrogen reformer can reforms hydrocarbon to generate hydrogen-rich gas through plasma without catalyst. The hydrogen-rich gas can be directly used by SOFC as the fuel. If the reforming process uses biomass, such as ethanol, vegetable oils as the feedstock to produce hydrogen, the zero CO2 emission goal can be attained. This project aims to improve the performance of the existing INER thermal plasma hydrogen production system. Both hydrogen yield and concentration will be increased. The major items of this project include: (1) Design and manufacturing of plasma reforming control unit; (2) Design and manufacturing of feeder and evaporator;(3) Design and manufacturing of plasma;(4) Design and manufacturing of compact heat exchanger and (5) Integrated test of ethanol plasma reforming system. The improved ethanol plasma reforming system is expected to provide hydrogen-rich gas as the fuel for SOFC. 研究期間：9608 ~ 9612
