It is provided solid, heterogeneous catalysts and a method for producing Hby steam reforming. More particularly, the catalyst comprises at least one metal element of Cu, Ni, Fe, Co, Mo, Mn, Mg, Zr, La, Ce, Ti, Zn and W, having a formula CuNiFeCoMOMnMgZrLaCeTiZnWO, wherein a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, I and m are molar ratios for the respective elements, wherein a, b, c, d, e, f, g and m are >0, h, I, j, k and I are >0 or a, b, c, d, e, f, g, i, and j are ≥0, h, k, I and m are >0 and x is such that the catalyst is electrically neutral. The produced Hcan be used to powered vehicle as described herein.

Catalysts for hydrogen production

It is provided solid, heterogeneous catalysts for the deoxygenation of esters of free fatty acids and triglycerides, and for the production of hydrocarbons that can be used as biofuels. More particularly, the catalyst comprises at least one metal oxide, the catalyst having a formula AlCuNiSiTiZnZrLaCeWSnGaFeMOMnCOO, wherein a, b, c, d, g, h, i, j, k, l, m n, o, p and x are the molar ratios of the respective elements, wherein a, b, c, d, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o and p are >0, e, f and g are >0 and x is such that the catalyst is electrically neutral.

Catalysts for the deoxygenation of esters of free fatty acids and triglycerides

Catalysts and methods for use in conversion of glycerides and free fatty acids to biodiesel are described. A batch or continuous process may be used with the catalysts for transesterification of triglycerides with an alkyl alcohol to produce corresponding mono carboxylic acid esters and glycerol in high yields and purity. Similarly, alkyl and aryl carboxylic acids and free fatty acids are also converted to corresponding alkyl esters. Catalysts are capable of simultaneous esterification and transesterification under same process conditions. The described catalysts are thermostable, long lasting, and highly active.
