CO2 Capture for Hydrogen Production Fundamentals

This eLearning course provides an overview of hydrogen production and CO₂ capture technologies. It covers the dominant hydrogen production method, Steam Methane Reforming (SMR), and the challenges of capturing concentrated CO₂ in a carbon-constrained environment. Learners will explore the differences between Partial Oxidation (POX) and Autothermal Reforming (ATR) and understand why ATR and POX are favored for large-scale hydrogen production. The course explains the high costs of capturing 90% CO₂ from SMR, the importance of the reference case for cost interpretation, and pre-combustion CO₂ capture technologies. It also addresses the costliest step in pre-combustion decarbonization and presents approaches to reduce syngas and hydrogen production costs. This course equips learners with essential knowledge to make informed decisions in sustainable energy solutions.

Target Audience

This series provides a wide-ranging overview of CO₂ capture. It is suitable for interested parties, such as environmental staff, facilities engineers, and gas processing engineers, including entry-level (1-2 year) engineers, or anyone interested in a general, technically oriented overview of this approach to Greenhouse Gas (GHG) mitigation.
