Tổng quan

Steam methane reforming (SMR) produces approximately 95% of the world's hydrogen by reacting natural gas with steam over a nickel catalyst at 700-1,000 degrees C. Hydrogen is essential for ammonia synthesis, petroleum refining (hydrocracking, hydrotreating), methanol production, and increasingly as a clean energy carrier. The process also produces CO₂ as a byproduct, making it 'grey hydrogen.' When combined with carbon capture and storage (CCS), the product becomes 'blue hydrogen.'

Quy trình hóa học

Natural gas (CH₄) is desulfurized and mixed with steam at a 1:3 ratio, then passed over Ni/Al₂O₃ catalyst in reformer tubes heated externally to 800-900 degrees C and 20-30 bar. The syngas undergoes the water-gas shift reaction to convert CO to CO₂ and additional H₂. CO₂ is removed by amine absorption or pressure swing adsorption (PSA), yielding 99.99% pure hydrogen.

CH₄ + H₂O ⇌ CO + 3H₂ (steam reforming, ΔH = +206 kJ/mol, endothermic)
CO + H₂O ⇌ CO₂ + H₂ (water-gas shift, ΔH = −41 kJ/mol, exothermic)
Overall: CH₄ + 2H₂O → CO₂ + 4H₂

Nguyên liệu thô

  • Natural gas (CH₄) — Natural gas wells (Hydrogen and carbon source)
  • Steam (H₂O) — Boiler/waste heat recovery (Oxygen donor and reactant)
  • Nickel catalyst (Ni/Al₂O₃) — Catalyst manufacturers (Reforming catalyst)

Sản phẩm cuối

  • Hydrogen gas (H₂) — Ammonia, refining, fuel cells, chemicals (99.99% purity by PSA, 10.8 kg CO₂/kg H₂ without CCS)

Environmental Impact

SMR is responsible for approximately 830 million tons of CO₂ annually — about 2% of global emissions. Each kilogram of hydrogen produces 10-12 kg of CO₂. CCS can capture 85-95% of CO₂ emissions. The transition to green hydrogen (water electrolysis with renewables) is the primary decarbonization pathway.

Đổi mới gần đây

Green hydrogen from water electrolysis (PEM and alkaline) is scaling rapidly but still costs 2-3x grey hydrogen.
Turquoise hydrogen from methane pyrolysis produces solid carbon instead of CO₂.
Autothermal reforming (ATR) with oxygen is better suited for CCS integration than conventional SMR.
