Whilst LC is the contractor for this project, the primary research is being carried out within the QUT Chemistry Department by a small team of researchers.
LC will support the QUT research team in the development of a compact microchannel reactor fuel processor and provide engineering design capability and commercialisation assistance as required.
The aim is to develop a proof-of-concept working reactor, create valuable IP to attract interest from the commercial fuel cell and fuel reforming markets.
The research is headed by Professor Graeme Millar, Discipline of Chemistry, Faculty of Science and Technology, QUT.
The project commenced in November 2010 and is projected to run until mid-2012.
