Georgia Tech team furthers four-stroke-cycle active-membrane piston reactor for enhanced SMR for H2 production

Green Car Congress

Steam methane reforming is currently the primary pathway for hydrogen production worldwide. It also captures and concentrates carbon dioxide emissions, a by-product that now lacks a secondary use—although that could change in the future. The carbon dioxide is released from the sorbent into the cylinder.
