how does hydrogen is manufactured
Answers
Answer:
hydrogen is made from coal mostly by bashing the fuel into powder and passing steam and oxygen through it. It is made from natural gas by heating it and reacting with steam
Hydrogen production is the family of industrial methods for generating hydrogen. As of 2018, the majority of hydrogen (∼95%) is produced from fossil fuels by steam reforming of natural gas, partial oxidation of methane and coal gasification. Other methods of hydrogen production include biomass gasification and electrolysis of water.[1][2] Around 8 GW of electrolysis capacity is installed worldwide, accounting for around 4% of global hydrogen production. Developing affordable methods for producing hydrogen with less damage to the environment is a goal of the hydrogen economy. Pure hydrogen is not generally found in large quantities on Earth. As of 2019, there is only one known natural hydrogen gas deposit in the world, and it has been discovered in Mali.[3]
The production of hydrogen plays a key role in any industrialized society, since hydrogen is required for many essential chemical processes.[4] As of 2019, roughly 70 million tons of hydrogen are produced annually worldwide for various uses, such as, oil refining, and in the production of ammonia (Haber process) and methanol (reduction of carbon monoxide), and also as a fuel in transportation. The hydrogen generation market is expected to be valued at US$115.25 billion in 2017.[5]
