Green Hydrogen vs. SMR Hydrogen: Why Electrolysis is the Future for Industries
In today’s industrial landscape, green hydrogen (produced via electrolysis) is emerging as a cleaner, more resilient alternative to conventional hydrogen (made through Steam Methane Reforming – SMR). Industries like semiconductors, steel, and petrochemicals rely heavily on hydrogen, but recent disruptions—such as Malaysia’s Putra Heights natural gas incident—highlight the risks of fossil fuel dependency.
At Ace Gases, we champion green hydrogen as the sustainable, future-proof solution for industries seeking energy security and environmental responsibility. 
Conventional Hydrogen (SMR): Costly, Polluting, and Vulnerable
Most hydrogen today is produced via Steam Methane Reforming (SMR), which has three major drawbacks:
-
Natural Gas Dependency – Any disruption in gas supply (like pipeline failures or price spikes) halts production.
-
High Carbon Emissions – SMR releases 10-12 kg of CO₂ per kg of hydrogen, worsening climate change.
-
Price Volatility – Hydrogen costs fluctuate with natural gas markets, creating financial uncertainty.
Industries needing uninterrupted hydrogen supply—such as semiconductor fabrication and oleochemical processing—face significant risks with SMR-based hydrogen.
Green Hydrogen (Electrolysis): Clean, Reliable, and Future-Ready
Electrolyzed hydrogen, made by splitting water using electricity, offers a superior alternative:
✅ Zero Fossil Fuels Needed – Only water + renewable electricity are required, eliminating gas supply risks.
✅ Ultra-High Purity (99.999%) – Essential for electronics, fuel cells, and specialty chemicals.
✅ Scalable & Decentralized – Plants can be built onsite, reducing transport costs and delays.
✅ 100% Green – When powered by renewables, electrolysis produces zero CO₂ emissions.
By switching to green hydrogen, industries can cut emissions, stabilize costs, and future-proof operations.
