While reforming is a well-established process, it faces several challenges:
Catalyst Deactivation: Catalysts used in reforming can become deactivated over time due to coke formation, sintering, or poisoning by impurities. Energy Intensity: Both steam and catalytic reforming are energy-intensive processes, requiring high temperatures and pressures. CO₂ Emissions: Steam reforming, in particular, produces significant amounts of CO₂, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions.
