Uncovering the true cost of hydrogen production routes using life cycle ...
The lower carbon to hydrogen ratio in coal relative to natural gas results in significantly higher direct CO 2 emissions from the process. The inventory data for both coal gasification routes (without and with CCS) are taken from the works by Ruthowski and Vickers, respectively [37], [38]. (4) C + 2 H 2 O ↔ CO 2 + 2 H 2.
