Control of aloy degradation in syngas production from steam-methane reforming
EF 2023-24
Résumé
The goal of this partnership is to address the materials' degradation challenges in syngas production system. The gaseous chemistries in industrial processes for syngas production have proven to be the most corrosive, which remains to be an unresolved materials challenge despite of many decades of efforts. The Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act requires the energy supply to shift to alternative fuels, and a hydrogen based green energy naturally becomes the ideal choice. Over 95% of the world's H2 is produced through syngas production using the steam methane reforming process. In collaboration with Air Products and Chemicals, the project will contribute to the hydrogen economy through innovations that can increase the service life and productivity of syngas production.
