To achieve a low carbon dioxide (CO₂) energy future the fossil fuel industry must pivot to make zero-emissions hydrogen through an open, global collaboration. One track to this is ‘pyrolysis’ in which natural gas is split into ‘white’ hydrogen and carbon black. This avoids the need for a massive roll-out of carbon capture and storage sites as envisaged in natural gas reforming or ‘blue’ hydrogen schemes. The advantages of both options are needed to support longer-term efforts to move towards ‘green’ hydrogen where water is split into its elements. By leading the development of all these routes to hydrogen, the energy majors of today will be able to utilise their enormous resources, technical ingenuity and vast capital and lead the future of energy. With the COP26 climate conference just months away, the UK has a critical role in directing efforts to bring hydrogen to the fore both at home and abroad.

简报：天然气热解制氢：一种关键的能源转型工具

实现低二氧化碳（CO ₂) 能源未来 化石燃料行业必须通过开放的全球合作来实现零排放氢。一种方法是“热解”，其中天然气被分解为“白色”氢气和炭黑。这避免了在天然气重整或“蓝色”氢计划中设想的大规模推出碳捕获和储存站点的需要。需要两种选择的优势来支持向“绿色”氢发展的长期努力，其中水被分解成其元素。通过引领所有这些氢能路线的开发，当今的能源巨头将能够利用其巨大的资源、技术独创性和庞大的资本，引领能源的未来。距离 COP26 气候大会还有几个月的时间，
