Abstract: High purity hydrogen has many applications one of which is in the hydrogen fuel cell industry. Hydrogen can be easily produced from water electrolysis; however, the most economical method is steam reforming of methane. This delivers a mixture of gaseous compounds from which hydrogen can be extracted. Besides various techniques such as pressure swing adsorption and cryogenic distillation, dense metal membranes offer an energy efficient and highly selective method for separating hydrogen from a hot gas mixture achieving high purity levels.
