Potent carbon-neutral energy carriers bring a vital solution for sustained industrialization and environmental protection. Hydrogen as a novel zero-emission energy carrier offers more than twice energy per unit mass compared to other fuels. Membrane reactor technology transforms gray hydrogen to blue by selective hydrogen separation and carbon dioxide capture from the product mixture. Moreover, improved reactant conversion during reversible steam reforming of methane, methanol, and ethanol; water gas-shift; and dehydrogenation of cyclic and aliphatic hydrocarbons as well as enhanced hydrogen yield are results of selective and distributed hydrogen separation from membrane reactor.
