    CONCLUSION
    • Call for clean energy is the main driver in development of Fuel processing.
    • Hydrogen Production- new applications in fuel cell power generation
    • Steam reforming yields highest Hydrogen concentration.
    • For practical applications, POX and Auto-thermal reforming processes are
    preferred – can be made energy-efficient and are smaller and lighter
    • Production of Hydrogen using Solar energy is still under research.
    • Need for smaller, lighter and responsive fuel processors producing high purity
