eREACT™ Hydrogen: The future of blue hydrogen

Electrify your production for ultra-low carbon intensity

As the world moves to decarbonize, there remains the question of whether fossil feedstocks can still fulfill a role consistent with the net carbon zero journey. Fortunately for producers, the answer is yes: Topsoe's eREACT^TM Hydrogen technology is the electrified evolution of the world’s most common hydrogen-production method, steam-methane reforming. It allows producers to leverage their existing hydrocarbon infrastructure while seamlessly integrating renewable power into their production and providing real support for the global energy transition.

While SMR typically generates the required heat through combustion of natural gas, resulting in CO₂ emissions, eREACT^TM Hydrogen facilitates the same reaction without the associated environmental impact. The reaction heat is generated directly by renewable electricity, eliminating the flue gas altogether. With the cost of renewable electricity decreasing rapidly, this groundbreaking technology enables existing industrial complexes to electrify their hydrogen production in a cost-effective manner.

Some of the benefits of eREACT^TM Hydrogen technology include:

• Simpler plant design with no flue-gas section
• Elimination of flue gas from the hydrogen-production process
• Ultra-low carbon intensity of 0–0.2 kg CO₂/kg H₂
• Easier operation, with fuel-mix and burner control replaced by power control
• A plant footprint up to 100 times smaller than that of a traditional SMR furnace
• Improved energy efficiency
• Four to five times less electricity consumption than a comparable electrolysis operation
