NX eBlueTM: Pioneering Sustainable Hydrogen Production through Innovative Electric Reforming
The presentation covers a brief introduction of the features of the reactor, the status of test pilot validation, the architecture of the process, the environmental benefits, such as the high capture rate of CO2 and the low emissions associated with the process.
NX eBlueTM technology, because of its low natural gas consumption, if compared to conventional SMR technology, and because of its low renewable electric power consumption, if compared to electrolysis, is a bridge between blue and green hydrogen production.
