  2. Methanol reformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanol_reformer

    While hydrogen power produces energy without CO 2, a methanol reformer creates the gas as a byproduct. Methanol (prepared from natural gas) that is used in an efficient fuel cell, however, releases less CO 2 in the atmosphere than gasoline, in a net analysis. [1]

  3. Hydrogen production - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_production

    In this process, hydrogen is produced from a chemical reaction between steam and methane, the main component of natural gas. Producing one tonne of hydrogen through this process emits 6.6–9.3 tonnes of carbon dioxide. [4] When carbon capture and storage is used to remove a large fraction of these emissions, the product is known as blue ...

  4. Steam reforming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_reforming

    Illustrating inputs and outputs of steam reforming of natural gas, a process to produce hydrogen and CO 2 greenhouse gas that may be captured with CCS. Steam reforming or steam methane reforming (SMR) is a method for producing syngas (hydrogen and carbon monoxide) by reaction of hydrocarbons with water. Commonly natural gas is the feedstock.

  5. Methanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanol

    Methanol is a promising energy carrier because, as a liquid, it is easier to store than hydrogen and natural gas. Its energy density is, however, lower than methane , per kg. Its combustion energy density is 15.6 MJ / L ( LHV ), whereas that of ethanol is 24 and gasoline is 33 MJ/L.

  6. Gas to liquids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_to_liquids

    Methanol is made from methane (natural gas) in a series of three reactions: Steam reforming CH 4 + H 2 O → CO + 3 H 2 Δ r H = +206 kJ mol −1 Water shift reaction CO + H 2 O → CO 2 + H 2 Δ r H = -41 kJ mol −1 Synthesis 2 H 2 + CO → CH 3 OH Δ r H = -92 kJ mol −1. The methanol thus formed may be converted to gasoline by the Mobil ...

  7. Hydrogen economy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_economy

    In this process, hydrogen is produced from a chemical reaction between steam and methane, the main component of natural gas. Producing one tonne of hydrogen through this process emits 6.6–9.3 tonnes of carbon dioxide. [40] When carbon capture and storage is used to remove a large fraction of these emissions, the product is known as blue ...

  8. Synthetic fuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_fuel

    Indirect conversion broadly refers to a process in which biomass, coal, or natural gas is converted to a mix of hydrogen and carbon monoxide known as syngas either through gasification or steam methane reforming, and that syngas is processed into a liquid transportation fuel using one of a number of different conversion techniques depending on ...

  9. Syngas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syngas

    Syngas, or synthesis gas, is a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, [1] in various ratios. The gas often contains some carbon dioxide and methane. It is principally used for producing ammonia or methanol. Syngas is combustible and can be used as a fuel.
