Hydrogen Colours

Hydrogen is a colourless gas, nevertheless in the present days the energy industry has assigned a different colour code to differentiate among the different type of hydrogen production technologies.

Carbon footprint is the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions

Steam Reforming process is a key techology for the manufacture of synthesis gas and hydrogen

A large variety of gas compositions can be manufactured by choosing the operating parameters (S/C, CO2/C, Pressure, T)

STEAM REFORMING (SMR)

CH4 + H2O = CO + 3H2 (endothermal)

CH3OH+H2O = CO2 + 3H2 ()

+ another hydrocarbon conversion

PARTIAL OXIDATION (POX)

CH4 + O2 = CO + 2H2

CH3OH +1/2O2 = CO2 +2H2

CH3OH = CO + 2H2

+another hydrocarbon conversion

WATER-GAS SHIFT (WGS) /REVERSE WATER-GAS SHIFT

CO+H20 = CO2 + H2 (WGS)

CO2 + H2 = CO + H20 (RWGS)
