Technological Transitions and Thermodynamic Optimisation in Steam Methane Reforming for Sustainable Hydrogen Production: A Critical Review of Catalyst Deactivation, Process Intensification and Carbon Capture Integration

Saidu Hassan Musa, Umar Aliyu Ahmed & Ishiyaku Ibrahim Babayola · Journal of Materials Science Research and Reviews · 2026

Steam methane reforming remains the dominant industrial route to hydrogen, and its future depends on whether the process can be reconciled with deep decarbonisation objectives. This review critically examines three research streams that have developed largely in isolation from on...
