Abstract
Industry’s dependence on and demand for raw materials such as hydrogen are growing fast, and access to raw materials is high on the list of priorities of most industrial countries around the globe. But the question of where hydrogen comes from and how we can produce it for new applications besides the traditional ones is an important ones in industry. We have come to realize that hydrogen is an excellent source of renewable energy that can meet the fast growing energy demands of industrialized countries, during both on-peak and off-peak hours. The so-called sustainable routes of economic growth are still too expensive. The reformation of hydrocarbons using steam is the most feasible route today.
