| Description | Steam methane reforming (SMR) process is regarded as a viable option to satisfy the growing demand for hydrogen, mainly because of its capability for the mass production of hydrogen and the maturity of the technology. In this study, an economically optimal process configuration of SMR is proposed by investigating six scenarios with different design and operating conditions, including $CO_{2}$ emission permits and $CO_{2}$ capture and sale. Of the six scenarios, the process configuration involving $CO_{2}$ capture and sale is the most economical, with an $H_{2}$ production cost of 1.80/kg-H_{2}$. A wide range of economic analyses is performed to identify the tradeoffs and cost drivers of the SMR process in the economically optimal scenario. Depending on the $CO_{2}$ selling price and the $CO_{2}$ capture cost, the economic feasibility of the SMR-based $H_{2}$ production process can be further improved. |
