Carbonized Chicken Feathers Fibers (CCFF) The Best Hope for Hydrogen Storage

June 26, 2009 Carbonized chicken feather fibers are the cheapest way to store hydrogen. Using chicken feathers is similar to using animal manure and crop waste. All three are waste products that can be used to create something new whether it is hydrogen storage, or biofuel. All three are renewable resources. University of Delaware researchers are the ones who have developed chicken feather fiber hydrogen storage. Richard P. Wool, professor of chemical engineering and director of the University’s Affordable Composites from Renewable Resources (ACRES) program had this to say, “Carbonized chicken feather fibers have the potential to dramatically improve upon existing methods of hydrogen storage and perhaps pave the way for the practical development of a truly hydrogen-based energy economy.” Chicken feather fibers (CFF) are made up of hollow tubes composed of keratin. Heated the keratin creates cross links that make the CFFs stronger. Heating also causes the CFFs to become more po...
