HYDROGEN

Different Types of Hydrogen

Hydrogen Formation Processes

Grey Hydrogen

  • Produced via thermochemical  conversion of natural gas
  • Main processes are steam methane reformation (SMR), partial oxidation (POX) or autothermal reforming (ATR)
  • Natural gas is the source of ~71% of global hydrogen production
  • Process is associated with high emissions

Brown Hydrogen

  • Produced from gasification of coal and lignite
  • Is widely used, especially in China and Australia, but is less common method of production than SMR
  • Coal is the source of ~27% of global hydrogen production
  • Process is associated with high emissions

Blue Hydrogen

  • Produced via SMR, ATR or POX paired with carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS)
  • Process is associated with low emissions
  • As of the start of 2020 there were two operational blue hydrogen plants; Air Products SMR in Port Arthur, Texas and Quest in Alberta, Canada

Green Hydrogen

  • Produced from water electrolysis powered by renewable electricity
  • Accounts for 1% of hydrogen production
  • Currently very expensive to produce
  • Process is associated with low emissions

GLOBAL HYDROGEN PRODUCTION AND USE

THE 

OPPORTUNITY

Hydrogen today is generally not used in thermal processes or traditional power generation due to high production costs, the need of modify equipment and storage and distribution challenges of hydrogen gas

Unlike regular hydrogen gas, eCombustible can replace 100% of fossil fuels in thermal and power generation processes with little or no modification to existing equipment and eCombustible is much cheaper to produce

Demand for hydrogen of >70 million tons (>$100B global market) has grown more than threefold since 1975 and continues to rise - mostly supplied from fossil fuels, with 6% of global natural gas and 2% of global coal going to hydrogen production

PROJECTED GLOBAL HYDROGEN DEMAND BY SECTOR

01 |

Hydrogen is primarily used in refining and production of fertilizers

02 |

Use of hydrogen in distributed power generation, via fuel cells, and as a replcament for natural gas (in small percentages via Power-to-Gas or P2G hydrolysis projects) is growning globally
