Case Study: Lower-Carbon Hydrogen Production

Hydrogen is the fuel of the future, and as a carrier of clean renewable energy, it will be essential to meeting global goals to decarbonize the economy—but most hydrogen produced today is powered by fossil fuels, resulting in carbon emissions.

Technologies are available today to enable large scale hydrogen production with lower carbon emissions, often referred to as blue hydrogen production, which is a crucial step towards reducing industrial emissions.

Honeywell UOP's Cryogenic Fractionation CO₂ Capture technology plays a significant role in this process. This solution leverages cryogenic temperatures to separate CO₂ from gas streams, ensuring high purity and enabling its capture in a dense phase, which can be easily liquefied and stored. This process is integrated with Honeywell UOP Polybed™ Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology to offer unique advantages, including minimal CO₂ emissions, reduced solvent management requirements and the ability to operate without steam, making it a robust solution for carbon capture in hydrogen production.

The case study will demonstrate how, with Honeywell UOP technology combined with Topsoe’s SynCOR™ autothermal reforming technology (ATR), producers now have an optimal pathway to producing lower-carbon hydrogen.

Discover how two leading technologies combined can achieve:

• High purity blue hydrogen
• Over 98% overall carbon capture
• High purity (99.5%) CO₂ captured and at high pressure/dense phase for sequestration
• Reduced water usage and lower CAPEX
