How is hydrogen produced?
- A process called steam-methane reforming is the most common method for producing hydrogen. Natural gas or methane are reacted with steam to produce hydrogen.
- Electrolysis produces hydrogen by using an electrical current to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen.
- Waste gas purification separates hydrogen from waste streams in industrial processes through special purification processes.
