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 eREACTTM 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 needed heat through combustion of natural gas - which results in CO2 emissions - eREACTTM Hydrogen facilitates the same reaction without the associated environmental impact. The reaction heat for eREACTTM Hydrogen is generated directly by renewable electricity eliminating thereby the flue gas altogether. With the cost of renewable electricity decreasing rapidly, this groundbreaking technology empowers even existing industrial complexes to electrify their hydrogen production in a cost-effective manner.
Some of the eREACTTM Hydrogen technology benefits are
Simpler plant design – no flue gas section
Eliminate all flue-gas from your hydrogen-production process
Operate at ultra-low carbon intensity (0-0.2 Kg CO2/kg H2)
Easier operation – fuel mix and burner control are replaced with power control
Minimize your plant footprint with a solution 100x smaller than a traditional SMR furnace
Improve energy efficiency
Utilize 4-5 times less electricity than a comparable electrolysis operation
