In other chemical-reduction systems, the only reaction product is carbon monoxide. With this catalyst, we can directly reduce carbon dioxide to syngas without the need for a secondary, expensive gasification process. —Mohammad Asadi. The new catalyst produces syngas, a mixture of carbon monoxide plus hydrogen.

Most of the world’s hydrogen production is currently based on conventional technologies such as steam methane forming (SMR), which also uses natural gas as feedstock but releases significant amounts of carbon dioxide in the process. Its value as a marketable product therefore enhances the economic viability of methane cracking.
