Topsoe's eREACTTM Hydrogen technology is the electrified evolution of the most prevalent hydrogen production method globally, steam-methane reforming.
This technology enables producers to use their current hydrocarbon infrastructure while effectively incorporating renewable power into their production processes. This integration could be a significant contribution to the global energy transition.
The heat required for the eREACTTM Hydrogen process is produced directly from renewable electricity, eliminating flue gas emissions. This means that, in contrast to traditional SMR, which generates the necessary heat through the combustion of natural gas, which causes CO2 emissions, eREACTTM Hydrogen conducts the same chemical reaction without combustion and thus without emissions.
With the rapid decline in the cost of renewable electricity, this innovative technology allows even established industrial facilities to transition to electrified hydrogen production in a financially viable manner.

The advantages of eREACTTM Hydrogen technology include:
- Four to five times lower electricity consumption than a comparable electrolysis operation
- Simplified plant design – no flue gas section
- Eliminating all flue gas from the hydrogen-production process
- Ultra-low carbon intensity (0-0.2 Kg CO2/kg H2)
- Easier operation – power control replaces fuel mix and burner control
- Significantly smaller plant footprint - system occupies 100 times less space than conventional Small Modular Reactor (SMR) furnaces.
- Enhanced energy efficiency
