Detailed explanation-1: -There are several ways to produce hydrogen: Natural Gas Reforming/Gasification: Synthesis gas-a mixture of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and a small amount of carbon dioxide-is created by reacting natural gas with high-temperature steam. The carbon monoxide is reacted with water to produce additional hydrogen.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are many different sources of hydrogen and ways for producing it for use as a fuel. The two most common methods for producing hydrogen are steam-methane reforming and electrolysis (splitting water with electricity. Researchers are exploring other hydrogen production methods or pathways.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ammonia can be decomposed (cracked) over a catalyst to produce the desired fuel-hydrogen (H2) along with nitrogen (N2) a non-toxic, non-greenhouse gas. In addition, ammonia might be an excellent transition fuel.

Detailed explanation-4: -Thermochemical Processes. Some thermal processes use the energy in various resources, such as natural gas, coal, or biomass, to release hydrogen from their molecular structure. Electrolytic Processes. Direct Solar Water Splitting Processes. Biological Processes.
