Low-cost,low-carbon hydrogen production Oxygen for in-situ underground gasification of wet crude reserves

摘要

Hydrogen will play an important role in a decarbonised,climate-neutral energy system.Emerging technologies,such as thermolysis of wastes,the use of plasma for methane splitting and in-situ underground gasification of fossil fuel reserves are likely to play increasingly important roles as low-carbon hydrogen production pathways.To achieve carbon neutrality,it will be essential to produce hydrogen at scale with minimal CO2 emissions.When traditional steam methane reforming(SMR)technology is combined with carbon capture and storage(CCS),blue hydrogen is produced.Another clean energy source is green hydrogen,which can be produced through electrolysis using renewable electrical power or from biomass.However,there is a constant drive to find technologies that reduce the cost of low-carbon hydrogen production.
