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 Honeywell UOP’s technology can integrate with specialized autothermal reforming technology (ATR) to support an optimal pathway to lower-carbon hydrogen production.
Discover how technology integration can enhance:
• 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
