Hydrogen is produced from natural gas through processes like steam methane reforming [1], and natural gas currently serves as the primary feedstock for hydrogen production in the United States [2]. Furthermore, the two are often discussed as alternative fuels [3], compared for their environmental impact [4], and blended together to create transportation fuels like Hythane and HCNG [5].

measurementHydrogen and natural gas can be blended to create transportation fuels, specifically Hythane (20% hydrogen by volume) and HCNG (30% hydrogen by volume).
claimHydrogen remains a cleaner fuel than natural gas, biogas, or methane, although its overall carbon footprint as a fuel is not yet fully established.
claimNatural gas serves as a feedstock for hydrogen production through high-temperature steam methane reforming and partial oxidation, both of which produce synthesis gas that yields hydrogen when reacted with water.
