Clean Hydrogen Production Methods

Process analysis of solar steam reforming of methane for producing low-carbon hydrogen

“…12 The use of concentrated solar energy for a high-temperature heat source to the SRM process has the potential of avoiding up to 35-40% of the CO 2 emissions derived from the conventional SRM process based on fossil fuel. 13,14 Last decade, many studies have been developed on effective and reliable technology of the solar SRM under different methods. Wang et al have performed thermodynamic analysis and numerical investigation of concentrated solarpowered membrane reactor concept for hydrogen production at lower and medium operating temperatures based on SRM.…”

Layered transition-metal hydroxides for alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction

“…Hydrogen, as an ideal energy carrier, has been proposed as a promising alternative for fossil fuels because of its characteristic of clean product and high specific energy [3,4]. One of the efficient scenarios for hydrogen production without CO2 releasing is combining water electrolysis with renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind energy [5,6]. However, the cost of hydrogen production from water electrolysis is relative higher than that from fossil fuels (e.g.…”

“…However, the cost of hydrogen production from water electrolysis is relative higher than that from fossil fuels (e.g. steam reforming) because of the high HER overpotential to some extent, which limited the large-scale applications of water electrolysis [5]. Therefore, enormous studies have been devoted to discover and fabricate effective HER catalysts and electrodes materials to reduce the cost of hydrogen production from water electrolysis [4,[7][8][9][10].…”

An experimental investigation of mesoporous MgO as a potential pre-combustion CO2 sorbent

“…Fossil fuel accounts for the world's major energy supply and its use is anticipated to be continued throughout the 21st century [1]. The use of fossil fuel is always accompanied with a vast emission of CO 2 .…”
