Decarbonization of methane initiative case study proposal on how/what to model of methane conversion to hydrogen

Decarbonization is the process of reducing carbon dioxide emissions from the atmosphere, primarily using low-carbon energy sources. Methane (CH4), classified as a greenhouse gas, plays a substantial role in the phenomenon of global warming and climate change. Methane can be converted into valuable products, and hydrogen (H2) is an emerging energy product recently under investigation. Hydrogen can be generated from methane using several methods, such as Steam Methane Reforming (SMR). Hydrogen production can be divided into two categories: fossil fuels, renewable resources, and biomass or water. Understanding decarbonization is of utmost importance in mitigating the adverse impacts of greenhouse gas emissions and, at the same time, fostering a sustainable energy practice. The Earth's temperature has risen by over 1℃ in the past 120 years, contributing to global warming. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere reached a record high in 2021, highlighting the need for decarbonization to reduce emissions.
