PowerTap is introducing a carbon capture system to its PowerTap onsite steam methane reformation hydrogen production to generate blue hydrogen.
Carbon capture systems are designed to eliminate the release of CO2by various means from sequestration, absorption and/or by producing a chemical reaction to consume all of the CO2 However, the fact is that all of these methods have their own challenges and offsets. PowerTap's process creates a chemical reaction that not only disposes of the CO2 but in the process creates clean renewable electricity that can be fed back into the local electric grid or used to create a unique renewable micro grids for local power distribution. The company states this is the first time it has been available in a small scale hydrogen production solution and will be the first deployed in support of PowerTap’s modular Hydrogen fueling stations in the U.S.
