Hydrogen ikoreshwa cyane mubyuma, metallurgie, inganda zimiti, ubuvuzi, inganda zoroheje, ibikoresho byubaka, ibikoresho bya elegitoroniki nizindi nzego. Methanol ivugurura tekinoroji yo kubyara hydrogène ifite ibyiza byo gushora imari mike, nta mwanda, no gukora byoroshye. Yakoreshejwe cyane muburyo bwose bwibimera bya hydrogène.
Kuvanga methanol namazi muburyo runaka, kanda, ushushe, ushushe kandi ushushe ibikoresho bivanze kugirango ugere ku bushyuhe n’umuvuduko runaka, hanyuma imbere ya catalizator, reaction ya methanol na reaction ya CO ikora icyarimwe, hanyuma ikabyara a gazi ivanze na H2, CO2 hamwe na CO isigaye.
Inzira yose ni inzira ya endothermic. Ubushyuhe bukenewe kuri reaction butangwa binyuze mukuzenguruka kwamavuta yo gutwara ubushyuhe.
Kugirango uzigame ingufu zubushyuhe, gaze ivanze ikorwa mumashanyarazi ituma habaho guhana ubushyuhe hamwe nuruvange rwibintu bivanze, hanyuma bigahinduka, hanyuma bigakaraba muminara yo kweza. Amazi avanze ava muri kondegene no gukaraba yatandukanijwe muminara yo kweza. Ibigize iyi mvange y'amazi ni amazi na methanol. Yoherejwe mu kigega kibisi cyo gutunganya. Gazi yujuje ibyangombwa noneho yoherezwa mubice bya PSA.
