H2SITE’s Post

The maritime regulatory framework aims to eliminate emissions from the maritime sector, which currently accounts for more than 2% of global greenhouse gas emissions. To decarbonize the maritime sector, the industry must reduce fuel consumption and replace propulsion systems low-emission fuels that grants more efficient conversions.🌏 Ammonia and methanol are the most promising options for decarbonizing the maritime sector. Ammonia offers nearly double the energy density of liquid hydrogen, even under milder storage conditions (-33ºC compared to -253ºC for LH2). Once installed onboard, H2SITE's integrated membrane reactors can perform ammonia cracking to produce high-purity hydrogen for onboard power generation using a PEM fuel cell or a Combustion Engine. H2SITE’s membrane reactors ensure complete transformation of ammonia while delivering high-purity hydrogen to the fuel cell in a single efficient process step.  Mixing hydrogen and ammonia in an internal combustion engine allows for the utilization of the vessel’s power unit throughout its life cycle, ensuring compliance with stringent emissions regulations, even at low loads or in port operations.  Overall, H2SITE’s efficiency is 90%, making it the most efficient solution on the market to convert ammonia to power.

Greetings Engineers, Today I’m going to illustrate the most common method used in Hydrogen production from Natural Gas that’s method is Steam Methane Reforming (SMR):  Steam methane reforming is the most common method used to produce hydrogen on an industrial scale. It involves the following steps:   a. Natural gas, which primarily consists of methane (CH4), is mixed with steam (H2O).   b. The mixture is then heated to high temperatures (700-1,000°C) in the presence of a catalyst, typically nickel.   c. The high temperature triggers a chemical reaction known as reforming, where methane reacts with steam to produce hydrogen and carbon monoxide.   d. The produced gas is then subjected to a water-gas shift reaction, where carbon monoxide reacts with steam to produce additional hydrogen and carbon dioxide.   e. The gas is further purified to remove impurities, such as sulfur compounds before the hydrogen is collected.  Steam methane reforming is a well-established technology and is currently the most economical method for large-scale hydrogen production. However, it relies on fossil fuels and produces carbon dioxide emissions as a byproduct. Below the Simplified process flow diagram of steam methane reforming with carbon capture  and storage (SMR-CCS). #Hydrogen #JIGPC #ProcessEngineering #Process #Sabic
