Given the challenges associated with steam reforming, alternative methods for hydrogen production are being explored, including:
Partial Oxidation: Reacting methane with a limited amount of oxygen to produce hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Autothermal Reforming: Combining steam reforming and partial oxidation in a single reactor to balance the endothermic and exothermic reactions. Electrolysis: Splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using electrical energy, especially from renewable sources.
