Abstract

Systems and methods of generating hydrogen are described herein. The systems include a first reactor that receives a feed stream comprising a hydrocarbon gas and produces a pyrolysis product stream comprising hydrogen gas and solid carbon. The first reactor includes a series of high-frequency solenoid coils surrounding a first reactor chamber housing a molten material. The first reactor chamber is configured to direct the feed stream through the molten material to convert at least a portion of the hydrocarbon gas to hydrogen gas and produce a hydrogen gas product stream and a carbon product stream. The systems also include a second reactor that receives the hydrogen gas product stream. The second reactor houses a heated metal structure in a second reactor chamber configured to direct the hydrogen gas product stream through the heated metal structure to convert at least a portion of the hydrogen gas product stream to hydrogen gas.
