The choice of catalyst is crucial for the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of hydrogen production processes: - Nickel-Based Catalysts - Widely used in SMR and biomass gasification due to their high activity and relatively low cost. - Platinum and Iridium Catalysts - Commonly employed in electrolysis for their excellent conductivity and catalytic properties, though they are expensive. - Cobalt and Iron Catalysts - Often used in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and biomass gasification, offering a balance between cost and performance.
