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.

IRENA sees renewable hydrogen at least cost-possible within decade

Green Car Congress

However, regulations, market design and the costs of power and electrolyzer production are still major barriers to the uptake of green hydrogen, the IRENA report says. Today, green hydrogen is 2-3 times more expensive than “blue” hydrogen, produced from fossil fuels in combination with carbon capture and storage (CCS).
