Hydrogen is produced on a commercial basis today – it is used as a feedstock in the chemical industry and in refineries, as part of a mix of gases in steel production, and in heat and power generation. Global production stands at around 75 MtH2/yr as pure hydrogen and an additional 45 MtH2/yr as part of a mix of gases.
Hydrogen is commonly produced from fossil fuels by reaction with water, with the net reaction: CH x,+2H 2 O⇒ (2+ x /2) H 2 +CO 2. Here the carbon in the fuel is used to reduce water, producing more hydrogen, but with co-production of carbon dioxide.

Blue hydrogen is attractive to fossil fuel companies, who see the possibility of their fossil gas resources being relevant in a net-zero emission economy. Oil and gas companies also like to point out that the IEA, in its Net Zero by 2050 (NZE 2050) scenario, expects blue hydrogen to account for 38% of total hydrogen supply in 2050 (grey/brown hydrogen
Similarly, high CO 2 prices -or equivalent policies discouraging fossil fuel use-would be needed for synthetic hydrocarbon fuels to become competitive with fossil fuel alternatives. In the following sections, we will first discuss different methods of hydrogen production from fossil fuels such as steam reforming, partial oxidation, autothermal

Hydrogen can be produced from diverse, domestic resources, including fossil fuels, biomass, and water electrolysis with electricity. The environmental impact and energy efficiency of hydrogen depends on how it is produced. Several projects are underway to decrease costs associated with hydrogen production. There are several pathways to
Abstract. A study is presented assessing the technology and economics of hydrogen production by conventional and advanced processes. Six conventional processes are assessed: (1) steam reforming of natural gas, (2) partial oxidation of residual oil, (3) gasification of coal by the Texaco process, (4) gasification of coal by the Koppers
Globally, fossil fuels account for a much smaller share of electricity production than the energy system as a whole. This interactive map shows the share of electricity that comes from fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas summed together) across the world. Oil accounts for only a small share of electricity production – most come from coal and gas.
The current, fossil fuel-based hydrogen market of 100 million tonnes per year is projected to expand towards 300–800 Mt yr −1 of green hydrogen produced
The hydrogen production from biomass is similar to the hydrogen production from fossil fuels. The gasification is performed at first; the gas basically consists of H 2, CO, and CH 4 . Methane is converted into the hydrogen and carbon monoxide by being reformed with the steam, also the efficiency of hydrogen is increased by being converted of carbon
Presently, a large variety of feasible techniques have been developed for hydrogen production, including reforming/oxidation/gasification of fossil fuels,
IEA analysis finds that the cost of producing hydrogen from renewable electricity could fall 30% by 2030 as a result of declining costs of renewables and the scaling up of hydrogen production. Fuel
Hydrogen Production. Hydrogen Production Processes. Hydrogen can be produced using a number of different processes. Thermochemical processes use heat and chemical reactions to release hydrogen from organic materials, such as fossil fuels and biomass, or from materials like water. Water (H 2 O) can also be split into hydrogen (H 2) and
The former is the more mature and most common used industrially as it is a cost-effective method that deploys cracking or reforming fossil-based fuels. In 2016, hydrogen production globally was about 85 million tonnes used in
The IEA identifies both hydrogen from electrolysis with ''zero-emission'' electricity and fossil fuel-based production with CCS as having a major ongoing role. For example, IEA projections have up to 40 per cent of global hydrogen production in 2070 from fossil fuels

Abstract. Production of hydrogen, one of the most promising alternative clean fuels, through catalytic conversion from fossil fuel is the most technically and economically feasible technology
At present fossil fuels undoubtedly predominate over renewable resources for hydrogen production due to their high availability and cost-effective industrially
Hydrogen production plants as a major source of CO 2 emissions Currently, practically all industrial manufacturing of hydrogen (globally, about 60 million metric tons per year [1]) is based on fossil fuels (mainly, natural gas and coal) either directly (i.e., using them as a feedstock and process fuel) or indirectly (i.e., through the
Adetokunboh T. Bakenne. Explains key technological, economic, and environmental issues concerning hydrogen from fossil sources. Discusses the use of fossil-sourced hydrogen in fuel cell-powered vehicles, and general issues concerning hydrogen production and storage. Adds a missing element to the debate about the hydrogen economy of the future.
Among fossil fuels natural gas is currently the main source of hydrogen (48%) followed by oil (30%) and coal (18%), whereas only 4% of the global hydrogen production comes from renewable resources. (8) Natural gas is expected to gain importance in the next few years over the use of oil and coal, the share of which within
The fact that fossil-based production of hydrogen is associated with the emission of such enormous quantities of CO 2 may diminish the environmental appeal of hydrogen as an ecologically clean fuel. The objective of this chapter is to analyze existing and emerging technological options and solutions for eliminating or drastically reducing
There are two major source materials for hydrogen production: Fossil fuels and biomass, which will be discussed detailedly in the following. 2.1.1. Fossil fuel source A large variety of fossil fuels, such as natural gas, oil, and coal, can be applied to
This paper reviews the various hydrogen production methods from fossil fuels through pyrolysis, partial oxidation, autothermal, and steam reforming, emphasizing the catalytic
In developing the hydrogen economy, hydrogen production processes are critical, producing hydrogen at comparable expenses and being environmentally
This paper reviews the various hydrogen production methods from fossil fuels through pyrolysis, partial oxidation, autothermal, and steam reforming,
Much of the increase in hydrogen demand in 2021 was met by hydrogen produced from unabated fossil fuels, meaning there was no benefit for mitigating climate change. The production of low-emission hydrogen was less than 1 Mt in 2021, practically all of it coming from plants using fossil fuels with carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS).
A key barrier for low-carbon hydrogen is the cost gap with hydrogen from unabated fossil fuels. At present, producing hydrogen from fossil fuels is the cheapest option in most parts of the world. Depending on regional gas prices, the levelised cost of hydrogen production from natural gas ranges from USD 0.5 to USD 1.7 per kilogramme (kg).
As shown in Figure 4, hydrogen production from fossil fuels is the least expensive source of hydrogen. Steam reforming of natural gas for hydrogen production costs vary from $1.43/kg to $2.27/kg with CO 2 capture and storage (CCS) and are highly dependent on
This study reviews the di erent. ff. hydrogen production technologies available using fossil fuels or renewable resources, such as biomass and water. Currently, most hydrogen is produced from fossil fuels because production costs are correlated with fuel prices, which remain at acceptable levels.
Hydrogen can be extracted from fossil fuels and biomass, from water, or from a mix of both. Natural gas is currently the primary source of hydrogen production, accounting for around three
