New Syngas Database for SMR and ATR Technologies• Methodology basically same as for Gasification Database

– But some classifications need to be harmonized• All data is public domain• Data coverage

– Ammonia, methanol, DRI, FT liquids > 95% of plants– Refining hydrogen > 85% of plants– With these five applications coverage is about 85% of total

market by volume• Other applications

– Other hydrogen (off-site) and chemicals estimated from 2011 data by others1

– No attempt to cover small plants (<5,000 Nm³/h)
