This technology is a low-cost catalyst composition using cement and clay as carriers for catalysts in methanol steam reforming (MSR) to produce hydrogen. The method reduces the need for expensive materials like alumina or zirconia and eliminates one high-temperature treatment step, decreasing energy consumption and cost. The catalyst offers long-term stability and performance comparable to commercial options. Applications include hydrogen production in industries like petrochemical plants and steelworks. The technology is aimed at reducing hydrogen production costs while maintaining efficiency.
