CONVENTIONAL The most popular hydrogen production legacy process is based on Steam Reforming of Natural Gas, or a similar process that uses a reaction of hydrocarbons with water. Hydrogen produced by steam reforming is classified as'gray hydrogen'when waste carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere and as 'blue hydrogen' when the majority of carbon dioxide is captured, stored geologically, or reused within a carbon dioxide non-emitting process. Typically, steam reforming systems, or steam methane reforming (SMR) systems are similar in construction to refining or industrial gases production...

Green Hydrogen production is mainly based on utilizing clean energy to produce hydrogen from water using electrolysis. PEM - Polymer electrolyte membrane electrolysis is the electrolysis of water in a cell equipped with a solid polymer electrolyte. SOEC - Solid Oxide Electrolyzer Cell is the electrolysis of water in a cell using a solid oxide, or ceramic, electrolyte. Some technologies allow using CO2 to produce Hydrogen as part of transforming excessive CO2 to clean energy.

HYDROGEN COMPRESSION & FIXED STORAGE The most common way to store hydrogen in stationary storage is as a compressed gas. Gas compression and High-pressure large bulk storage are used in a variety of technologies and scales. HGE: H2 Gas Embrittlement • H2 molecule diffuses into metal surface • P & T variations create cracks by fatigue • Crack propagation = HGE • HGE risk increases with P/decreases with polishing-coating • Rule of thumb: materials HRC < 32 are not affected by HE Habonim H2 Valve Materials non-susceptible to HGE • Body: SS316L shell; A479 (forged bar, not cast) for HP valves • Embrittlement...
