3. Hydrogen production processes

The dihydrogen molecule is not naturally available. It must therefore be produced by extracting the H atom from compounds that contain it, essentially hydrocarbons and water. Today's industrial production technologies are as follows:

  • steam reforming of light hydrocarbons ;

  • partial oxidation of hydrocarbons;

  • autothermal reforming, which is a combination of the previous two ;
