ah, ok, that makes sense, the cost is too high, because the steam you have to produce to crack methane gas has to be 800°C and you can only heat up steam to 500°C if you used induction, so you need either a natural gas line or a methane line, before you can start making hydrogen, oxygen and apparently solid carbon??? how solid carbon?? well, my question to your company is this, since it ionizes the gasses, like what happens with electrolysis, or what you do before releasing exhaust fumes from natural gas plants in the air, with an electrostatic precipitator, is it also technically possible, to add other gasses before the plasma turns it into their constituent particles? Because I can see how you can now collect CO2 gas from other companies, and send that through your system too, to extract CO2 from environmental air. Is this possible, or have you thought about converting your invention so it can actually do that? It's the solid carbon as a byproduct that baffles me, because you can exactly weigh how much carbon you're actually taking out of the system, and that's remarkable and sellable. If it can indeed also can suck in environmental air and extract the co2 from that, then government will be more interested, because that's exactly what they need. Theoretically I don't see the problem with it, but i'm no chemist, that's why i'm asking you, can it also include environmental air, even if you have to convert some things so it can?
It's fascinating to see your interest in the technical aspects of hydrogen production through plasma-based processes. Your observations about the challenges related to temperature and the potential for collecting CO2 from environmental air are insightful. Regarding the solid carbon byproduct, it's likely that the process you're referring to involves the creation of carbon as a solid material during the plasma-based hydrogen production. This carbon can indeed be a valuable product, especially if it's of high purity. Depending on the conditions and parameters of the plasma process, carbon can form in different ways, and its characteristics can vary. As for your idea of incorporating environmental air and extracting CO2, theoretically, it's possible to design a system that utilizes plasma to process other gases, including those from the environment. However, the feasibility of such an approach would depend on various factors, such as the specific gases involved, the required conditions for processing, and the efficiency of the plasma-based reaction. It's an interesting concept that aligns with carbon capture and utilization strategies. While we are not directly affiliated with any company working on this technology, the principles you've highlighted suggest that with careful design and optimization, it could indeed be feasible to adapt plasma-based hydrogen production for CO2 capture from the atmosphere. However, such an adaptation might require modifications to the system and further research to ensure its practicality, efficiency, and environmental impact. Your ideas showcase a forward-thinking approach to addressing environmental concerns, and they could potentially contribute to more sustainable and versatile applications of plasma technology.
Good question! Producing hydrogen from plasma using CH4 involves a process called "plasma reforming." Plasma reforming is a method of converting hydrocarbons like methane into hydrogen and other useful products by subjecting them to a high-temperature plasma environment. The plasma is a highly ionized gas with high energy, and it can break down the methane molecules into simpler components like hydrogen and carbon.
Hydrogen is an energy carrier which is called "the fuel of the future". It is clean and environmentally friendly. For more details about hydrogen, search "Hydrogen" or "Fuel Cell" in our channel.
