Description: NASA is developing several technologies that have the potential to increase the percentage of oxygen recovery from carbon dioxide, toward fully closing the Air Revitalization System loop. Methane pyrolysis recovers hydrogen from methane, making additional hydrogen available to react with carbon dioxide. Bettergy proposes to develop a robust, highly efficiency hydrogen separation assembly enabling the separation of hydrogen from hydrogen, hydrocarbon rich streams for the oxygen recovery system in the ISS.

Benefits: The technology developed in this project will provide robust Oxygen Recovery System to recover hydrogen from methane that can be directly used in ISS

Successful completion of the current program will make significant contribution toward development of the new technologies that can effectively produce hydrogen from various sources for hydrogen refueling stations, fuel-cell vehicle fleets, and other applications.
