Production of Hydrogen Energy
This technology uses high-temperature steam to
reform the methane in natural gas into hydrogen
and carbon dioxide.
26
Production of Hydrogen Energy
Liquids derived from biomass can be reformed into
hydrogen using high-temperature technologies similar
to those used to reform natural gas. However, some bio-
derived liquids also offer the potential to use lower-
temperature reforming processes, which would greatly
improve system eficiency and decrease reformer cost.
27
Production of Hydrogen Energy
Gasiication of biomass instead of coal would minimize
carbon impacts, but biomass cost and supply issues
would present other challenges.
28
Production of Hydrogen Energy
Solar energy can be concentrated with mirrors focusing on
a special lens to generate temperatures close to 2,000°C.
These temperatures can be used to trigger a series of
chemical reactions that split water molecules to produce
hydrogen without generating any harmful emissions.
29
Production of Hydrogen Energy
A promising way to produce hydrogen is by splitting water
using electricity (electrolysis). Renewable-powered water
electrolysis (e.g., wind or solar) at central or semi-central
facilities could overcome these challenges.
