Switching a City from Natural Gas to Hydrogen
DNV GL points out in a recent article that while burning natural gas emits about half the carbon of an equivalent amount of oil or coal, combusting hydrogen (H2) gas emits none at point of use. Steam-methane reforming (SMR) is the main process used to separate natural gas, which is mostly methane, to produce H2 and carbon dioxide (CO2). Hydrogen can then be used as a lower-carbon fuel, while ...
