FAQ

Low-carbon hydrogen is produced from natural gas through a reforming process using steam methane reforming (SMR), auto thermal reforming (ATR) or partial oxidation (POx). During the reforming process, carbon is captured and stored to reduce hydrogen carbon intensity, making low-carbon hydrogen technology a cleaner and more environmental alternative to grey hydrogen production, which does not capture greenhouse gas emissions.

Low-carbon hydrogen is produced from natural gas with carbon capture and storage (CCS), while green hydrogen is produced through water electrolysis using renewable electricity. This hydrogen production method results in near-zero carbon dioxide emissions, making green hydrogen a clean and sustainable energy source to generate electricity and power vehicles.

The advantages of low-carbon hydrogen production include lower carbon emissions compared to grey hydrogen, efficient use of existing natural gas infrastructure and immediate availability at large scale through proven technologies. Low-carbon hydrogen technology serves as a transitional energy source toward a more renewable hydrogen economy, powering the energy transition and boosting global environmental climate goals to reduce fossil fuel reliance. O2 emissions by up to 20 percent), reduce hydrocarbon consumption and increase reforming capacity by up to 30 percent. Successfully operating for over 20 years with installed capacity up to 160 kNm3/h and growing.
