Abstract

The article provides an overview of the present condition and immediate future potential in the realm of hydrogen energy technologies. The paper delves into the most renowned approaches for generating hydrogen from natural gas: a) Steam-Methane Reforming (SMR); b) Partial Oxidation (POX); and c) Autothermal Reforming (ATR). Nevertheless, employing these technologies on an industrial scale requires substantial R&D efforts, often on the scale of experimental ventures. The article also examines the global energy landscape, energy sources, the historical discovery of hydrogen, and the various production methods. It addresses the intricacies associated with hydrogen production technologies, with a focal point on the technology of extracting hydrogen from natural gas. Through a comparison of the benefits and drawbacks of each method and, as explicated in the concluding section of the study, several significant insights have been derived. Among the three technologies, SMR, the steam conversion process, boasts the highest hydrogen production rate. Catalytic partial oxidation of methane exhibits the swiftest reaction rate; however, it necessitates the use of pure oxygen, which poses safety concerns. The process of methane auto-thermal reforming requires no external heat and is characterized by minimal energy consumption. Steam reforming of methane emerges as an ecologically sound and scientifically promising avenue, offering high effectiveness. Nevertheless, its deployment on an industrial scale remains to be fully refined. Developing cost-effective catalysts and continuous reactor systems for methane steam conversion technology is essential to rendering it economically viable. In conclusion, there is substantial potential for advancements at hydrogen energy technologies, particularly through refining and integrating these different production methods.
