The fastest route to commercializing solar hydrogen could be by supplying hydrogen, oxygen and heat for Australia’s copper mining industry with solar thermochemistry, Christian Sattler told this reporter for SolarPACES recently. With his experience heading solar fuels research at Germany’s solar research center at DLR, Sattler sees a synergistic connection between the sulfuric acid processing […]
Turquoise hydrogen from methane pyrolysis
At present, about 95% of the hydrogen that is produced is derived from fossil fuels using various thermochemical processes. Gasification consumes solids such as petcoke and coal. Other gas-phase reforming processes are fed with methane, naphtha, or refinery gas. Auto thermal reforming (ATR), steam methane reforming (SMR) and partial oxidation (POX) are the main thermochemical […]
