摘要
The abundance of natural gas as a natural resource and its high hydrogen content make it a prime feedstock candidate for a low cost supply of hydrogen. The thermal decomposition of natural gas by methane decomposition produces carbon and hydrogen. Conventional steam reforming of natural gas produces CO2 and hydrogen and requires more process energy. Methane decomposition produces the least amount of greenhouse gas CO2 emissions per unit of hydrogen and can be totally eliminated when the carbon produced is sequestered or sold as a material.
