8 Rivers announces 8RH2 CO2 Convective Reformer for ultra-low carbon hydrogen production from natural gas

Green Car Congress

8 Rivers Capital announced the development of the 8RH2 CO 2 Convective Reformer—a technology for the production of ultra-low carbon hydrogen from natural gas. It uses the oxy-combustion of carbon fuels and a high-pressure supercritical CO 2 working fluid in a highly recuperated cycle that captures all emissions by design.
