Hydrogen is considered a clean fuel with water as its only byproduct upon combustion. Catalysis is essential in various methods of hydrogen production, including:
Water splitting - Photocatalysts or electrocatalysts are used to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen using sunlight or electricity. Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) - Catalysts are used to reform methane with steam to produce hydrogen and carbon dioxide. Biomass gasification - Catalysts help convert organic materials into hydrogen-rich gases.
