OPEX Webinar: Optimizing Hydrogen Production: The Role of Advanced Catalyst Solutions


Tuesday, September 9, 2025 (2pm - 3pm US/Eastern)

Registrations for this meeting have not started yet.



As the industry continues to focus on Scope 3 emissions and reducing carbon in fuels, the need for incremental hydrogen is growing. This continues to place pressure on Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) units to get more for less without increasing environmental impact or operational costs. Whether a direct process need or part of a mid-phase biofuels project that doesn’t yet justify a new low carbon hydrogen plant, getting incremental production is challenging and can be both mechanically and capital intensive.

During this webinar attendees will:
• Discover how structured catalysts provide an effective solution to meeting increasing hydrogen demand while addressing existing SMR limitations
• Learn about the advantages of structured catalysts technology
• Hear insights from two hydrogen operators on lifecycle performance and the reliability of this technology
