How is the hydrogen produced for the CHP?

Hydrogen used for Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems can be produced from various sources. One common method is through steam methane reforming, where natural gas is combined with steam under high temperatures to produce hydrogen gas and carbon dioxide as a byproduct. Another technique is electrolysis, where an electric current is passed through water to separate it into hydrogen and oxygen molecules. This method can utilize renewable energy sources such as wind or solar power to generate the electricity needed for electrolysis, making it an environmentally friendly option. Additionally, hydrogen can be obtained through biomass gasification or through the use of renewable energy technologies like photovoltaic cells. The choice of production method often depends on factors such as cost, availability of resources, and environmental impact.
