Abstract : Hydrogen is not only an important industrial chemical but also an energy carrier with increasing demand. However, the current production techniques are based on technologies that result in massive CO2 emissions. In contrast, the pyrolysis of alkanes in a liquid metal bubble column reactor does not lead to direct CO2 emissions.
