11:30 - 12:00 BST

Blue Hydrogen Production- Hydrogen Production from Natural Gas with Carbon Capture (CCS)
Speaker:  Filip Cejka, BRE

Abstract:  As global energy systems transition toward low-carbon solutions, blue hydrogen – produced from natural gas with carbon capture and storage (CCS) – offers a promising pathway. In this webinar, we compare two key process options for hydrogen production: steam methane reforming (SMR) and autothermal reforming (ATR) with partial oxidation. We evaluate each configuration under multiple carbon capture strategies, including the baseline capture of process CO₂ and an enhanced approach that incorporates additional CO₂ capture from flue gas used in preheating.

The session also explores a hybrid system that integrates ATR with electrolysis to further reduce emissions and optimize resource use. Comprehensive results will be presented, covering hydrogen yield, natural gas consumption, CO₂ emissions, electricity demand, and steam production and utilization.

 

12:00 - 12:30 BST

Scoping Opportunities for Flared Gas Monetisation
Speaker:  Glen Hay, SLB

Abstract:  For methane abatement efforts, SLB Emissions Technologies and Solutions uses a plan, measure, act methodology. This presentation will provide an overview of the methodology behind the “plan” pillar for flared gas monetization, investigating the economic challenges and risks behind optimal site selection matched with current and future technological solutions. Within the presentation, the impact of the flared gas composition, pressure, and volumetric flow rates on process solutions will be discussed. The optimal technology strategies will then be matched using an approach to showcase the cost of additional treatment before and after the core process when choosing solutions involving power generation, gas compression, gas liquefaction, or more complex conversion technologies.  The presentation will also cover the market for potential products resulting from such solutions and how distance to market can impact economics.
