Hydrogen Production from Fossil Fuels
نویسنده
چکیده
A review of conventional methods of production of hydrogen from fossil fuels is presented. Some advanced and unconventional methods of production of hydrogen based on fossil fuels are also presented. The general characteristics of the feedstocks used to produce hydrogen are first described. This is followed by the chemistry required to generate hydrogen. Then the chemical process operations and chemical engineering are detailed including process flow diagrams. A brief review of the efficiency and economics of the conventional fossil fuels is presented.

Application of Biomass to Hydrogen and Syngas Production
Today there is a worldwide interest in the use of biomass as an environmental friendly renewable energy source. The depletion of fossil oil reserves, constant uncertainties as far as price is concerned, unsecured supplies, and environmental pollution are among the many energy problems, when the use of fossil fuels are considered. Greenhouse effect and its consequences on climate change is one o...
متن کاملLarge-scale Hydrogen Production
There is a growing need for hydrogen and a future hydrogen economy is high on the political agenda. But where should the hydrogen come from? The “sustainable” routes are still too expensive. Steam reforming of hydrocarbons is the most feasible route today. If CO2-sequestration is accepted, fossil fuels may play an important role in a starting future “hydrogen economy”. This will happen by use o...

Background: Increasing global consumption of fossil fuels leads to greenhouse gas emissions, climate change and environmental pollution. Agricultural, animal and food industrial waste is one of the main sources of pollution. The bioethanol industry is one of 17 highly polluted industries. In the process of producing bioethanol, vinasse is produced, and so far 22.4 Giga litter of vinasse has bee...
متن کاملHydrogen from Biomass for Urban Transportation
Hydrogen is the most environmentally friendly fuel and can be efficiently used for stationary power and mobile applications. When burned or oxidized, it generates water as the only emission (small amounts of NOx are generated during the combustion process but can be controlled to very low levels). At present, hydrogen is produced almost entirely from fossil fuels such as natural gas, naphtha, a...
متن کاملComparison between Biogas Production from Manure of Laying Heners and Broilers
Exploitation of fossil fuels such as lignite, brown coal, crude oil and natural gas comes from the oxidation of carbon stored over millions of years in the Earth’s crust; the combustible energy when released in the atmosphere emits carbon dioxide (CO2). Increased concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere causes global warming, because it is a greenhouse gas. Fossil fuels are limited and concentrat...
