- Abstract
The article discusses the advancements in steam methane reforming (SMR) technology for hydrogen production. Efforts are being made to reduce CO2 emissions and generate hydrogen with a low carbon footprint. Companies like Air Liquide, BASF, Clariant, and Topsoe are developing catalysts and reformer concepts to improve SMR efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions. Additionally, Zone-Flow Reactor technology has shown promising results in increasing steam reforming capacity without increasing methane slip or tube skin temperature. Blue hydrogen production, which captures 95% or more of CO2 emissions, is becoming more scalable and available. Autothermal reforming (ATR) technologies, which use oxygen instead of natural gas combustion, are also being developed for higher CO2 capture rates. ATR-based flowsheets are considered more suitable for producing low-carbon hydrogen compared to SMR.
