The EU-supported Mercatox project led by the company Wellman CJB in the UK has led to the development of a complete process for the on-board steam reforming of methanol for vehicles. The basic premise was the use of compact, aluminium heat exchangers... 

In Table 2, the nuclear electricity generation is now commercially conducted, and nuclear hydrogen production is now under research and development. As for the nuclear hydrocarbon production, a nuclear synthetic methane recycling process is being developed by the Tokyo Institute of Technology for on-board steam-methane reforming with calcium oxide for CO2 sorption (Ref. 5).
