随着"双碳"目标的提出，氢能作为一种无碳能源，有望成为未来能源的重要形式。甲烷（CH₄）作为天然气的主要成分，质量含氢量高达25%，是烃类中质量含氢量最高的物质，基于天然气储运的完善基础设施，可有效避免氢气（H₂）难于储运的产业发展痛点。分析了甲烷作为储氢载体的氢能产业发展技术路径，从制氢端考虑，对甲烷重整制氢、甲烷裂解制氢技术的现状以及面临的挑战加以分析；从甲烷制取角度，介绍了甲烷化技术的动态和难点。

As Carbon Emission Peaking and Carbon Neutrality targets brought out, hydrogen as an energy with zero carbon emission will be an important energy form in the future.Methane, main component of natural gas, with hydrogen occupying 25 wt% in its molecule, is the most hydrogen-containing hydrocarbon substance.What's more, the storage and transportation infrastructure for natural gas develops perfectly, which can compensate the pain point in hydrogen storage and transportation.This paper analyzes the technical route for developing hydrogen energy industry, which using methane as hydrogen storage medium.As for hydrogen production, the status and challenges of methane steam reforming and methane cracking technologies are analyzed.As for methane production, the dynamics and challenges of syngas and CO₂ methanation processes are discussed.
