Hydrogen production via inductively heated methane pyrolysis

The pyrolysis of methane offers the potential for an affordable and clean route to hydrogen production. The reaction is endothermic and requires energy input, which must be provided without emissions if the process is to be CO2-free. One option is to use electricity provided from clean sources. Resistive heaters are challenged by low heat flux and high costs. The novel approach that will be investigated here is to use inductive heating with metal catalysts to provide the reaction energy using electricity.
