Interesting overview of cracking Methane to produce Hydrogen and Carbon from CH4 that explores the balance between hydrogen production and fugitive CH4 emissions....
In this work, a model exploring the impact of methane cracking implementation in a hydrogen economy is presented, and the impact on global emissions of carbon dioxide and methane is explored.
Summary
•Methane cracking-hydrogen economy has the potential to mitigate climate change.
•Up to 27% global CO2-eq emissions decrease by methane cracking-hydrogen economy.
•Strong influence of CH4 leakage from natural gas system on total global emissions.
