Von Wald and Mohammad S. Masnadi and D. Chester Upham and Adam R. Brandt}, journal={Sustainable Energy and Fuels}, year={2020}, volume={4}, pages={4598-4613} }
The industrial sector accounts for nearly a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions. To achieve climate change mitigation targets, reductions in energy-related and process emissions from industry are crucial. Methane pyrolysis could be used to produce low-carbon hydrogen (H2) for distributed energy end-uses and for industrial processes while generating a solid carbon product that can be permanently sequestered or sold as a manufacturing feedstock. This work analyzes methane pyrolysis via a…
