Hydrogen gas is reactive, and thus there do not exist deposits of hydrogen that can be exploited. The vast majority of the world’s commercial hydrogen — over 95% by most estimates — is produced using the steam methane reforming process (SMR). In the non-catalytic process, methane pyrolysis occurs only at temperatures above 1100–1200?°C.
