Abstract
The fast-paced growth of the need and demand for—and dependency on—raw materials such as hydrogen in today’s industries is high on the list of the political economy of most industrial countries around the globe. In particular, besides classical applications of hydrogen in industry, we have come to realize that it is a good source of renewable energy during the on- and off-peak demand for electricity imposed on the grid by fast-growing industrial countries and their populations. However, the question of where the hydrogen comes from and how we can produce it remains. The “sustainable” routes are still too expensive. Steam reforming of hydrocarbons is considered to be the most feasible route today.
