Passive Carbon Sequestration from Methane Reforming for Large-scale Fuel Production
Converts Methane into Pure Hydrogen or Synthesis Gas at Lower TemperaturesThis methane reforming pathway uses condensation to sequester either pure carbon or carbon dioxide. Currently available methods of industrial methane conversion to synthesis gas, or syngas (i.e., H2 and CO), primarily consists of the following techniques: steam reforming of methane,...
