Estimating The Carbon Footprint Of Hydrogen Production

R-Squared Energy

Bush touted the potential for a “hydrogen economy” in his 2003 State of the Union address. Over 95% of the world’s hydrogen is produced using the steam methane reforming process (SMR). In this reaction, natural gas is reacted with steam at an elevated temperature to produce carbon monoxide and hydrogen. CO + 3 H 2.
