It is a major challenge to reduce global warming through the reduction in the carbon emission into the atmosphere. Hydrogen in this context could serve to be the ideal fuel of the future, categorized as green and blue hydrogen. Among the different ways of hydrogen production, thermo-catalytic decomposition of methane is an attractive way to produce clean hydrogen, devoid of COx with low energy consumption. Thermodynamics favors operation at low pressure and high temperature while stoichiometry indicates large proportion of carbon as compared to H2 (mass). The proposal attempts to synthesis tunable porous transition bimetallic catalyst that would maximize decomposition to hydrogen and favorable nano-carbon structures as well as offer high catalyst stability. The scope of work includes reaction mechanism, kinetics modeling, reactor design development that favor easy separation and regeneration of catalyst
