Research Summary
Steam methane reforming (SMR) is an industrial process used to produce hydrogen gas from methane (typically sourced from natural gas) and steam. The process involves reacting methane with high-temperature steam in the presence of a catalyst, usually nickel, to produce hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and a small amount of carbon dioxide. This reaction, known as the reforming reaction, is endothermic, meaning it requires heat to proceed. The carbon monoxide produced can further react with steam in a subsequent water-gas shift reaction to produce additional hydrogen and carbon dioxide. SMR is the most widely used method for hydrogen production due to its efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The hydrogen generated through SMR is used in various applications, including ammonia production for fertilizers, petroleum refining, and as a clean fuel for fuel cells. However, the process also generates significant carbon dioxide emissions, which is a concern in terms of environmental impact and greenhouse gas contributions.
