Invention Description:
Steam reforming of methane is the most common hydrogen production method in commercial use today. However, one of the major byproducts of the steam reforming process is CO2, a significant contributor to global warming and climate change.
Capturing CO2 has therefore become a paramount task for the hydrogen producing industries. This technology involves a novel process that produces pure hydrogen without emissions of CO2.
The overall system description and necessary modifications/variations would require limited technological sophistication. The feedstock of the system is methane and the product is pure hydrogen. No CO2 is emitted to the atmosphere.
Potential Applications:
Steam reforming processes where carbon capture and by-production of CO2 are major potential applications
Advantages and Benefits:
