Hydrogen can be produced through several methods, each relying on different catalytic processes:
Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) - This method uses a nickel-based catalyst to react methane with steam, producing hydrogen and carbon dioxide. Water Electrolysis - In this process, catalysts such as platinum or iridium are used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity. Partial Oxidation - Hydrocarbons are partially oxidized to produce hydrogen, often using a rhodium or platinum catalyst. Biomass Gasification - Organic materials are converted to hydrogen through high-temperature reactions facilitated by catalysts like nickel or iron.
