Abstract:Methane pyrolysis is a transitional technology for environmentally benign hydrogen production with zero greenhouse gas emissions, especially when concentrated solar energy is the heating source for supplying high-temperature process heat. This study is focused on solar methane pyrolysis as an attractive decarbonization process to produce both hydrogen gas and solid carbon with zero CO2 emissions. Direct normal irradiance (DNI) variations arising from inherent solar resource variability (clouds, fog, day-night … Show more
“…Methane pyrolysis appears to be among the new benign technologies for producing hydrogen with zero greenhouse gas emissions, and it is especially suitable for solar energy applications with high-temperature process heat. Msheik et al [5] examined the possibility of using solar methane pyrolysis as a decarbonization process, producing both hydrogen gas and solid carbon with zero CO 2 emissions. They designed a novel hybrid solar/electric reactor at the PROMES-CNRS laboratory to handle the difficulties associated with direct normal irradiance (DNI).…”
