Abstract

Over the past few decades, extensive efforts have been made to modify the conventional hydrogen production technologies. In particular, a review of those methods that are intended to reduce the carbon emission and improve the process efficiency for steam methane reformation (SMR) is provided here. So far, several such methods have been proposed based on both fossil and non-fossil energy sources which primarily include the use of membranes, metal oxides as a CO2 sorbent, and nuclear and solar energy. Moreover, this section also includes a brief summary of an innovative process which suggests the inclusion of sodium hydroxide as a reactant to the SMR process. The addition of sodium hydroxide to the SMR process can serve the dual purpose of hydrogen production and CO2 capture. Certainly, these methods have the potential to reduce CO2 emission during hydrogen production. Therefore, here, the status and perspective of all these methods are presented.
