Description

BLUE HYDROGEN is Hydrogen:

  • produced from Fossil Fuels (e.g. Grey, Black, or Brown Hydrogen)
  • where CO2 is captured and either stored of repurposed.

Figure 1 - Steam Reforming with Carbon Capture Simplified Flow Diagram - The Process produces Blue Hydrogen[1]

Figure 1 shows a simplified Flow Diagram for Steam Methane Reforming with Carbon Capture.[1]

  • Processing 1 kg of Natural Gas to produce 0.5 kg of Hydrogen.
  • Associated CO2 generated by Reformer/Shift Reactions is 5.5 kg per kg H2.
  • Additional CO2 from burning Fuel in Reformer Furnace brings total to a range from 9 -11 kg CO2 per kg H2 depending on Process efficiency.
  • Total of three Carbon Capture (CC) Stations shown.
  • Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) Unit separates the pure Hydrogen product from the Tail Gas, which is recycled in the Reformer Furnace.
