Steam-methane reforming, the main hydrogen production method, is energy-intensive and emits CO2. Dry reforming of methane (DRM) uses CO2 and overcomes energy and emission issues. New Ni/SiO2 catalysts enable efficient, long-lasting DRM processes. These catalysts resist coking and are economical, promising for industrial use. This innovation could make DRM a viable alternative for sustainable hydrogen production.
