Membrane reactors for the production of pure hydrogen are complex systems whose performance is determined by the interplay between transport by convection and dispersion within the packed bed, hydrogen permeation across the membrane, and the reaction kinetics. Much effort has been devoted to the development of simplified models that combine an adequate description of the system, while maintaining a low computational cost.

Global warming and climate change are indisputable theories. Since the Industrial
Revolution, the mean temperature of the planet has increased by 1°C. Now, temperatures
are approaching a higher stage of +1.5°C and the attention is on both CO2 emissions and
energy consumption. Transportation is a major component of the environmental impact,
accounting for approximately 30% of air pollution and energy consumption. Due to the
rapid urbanization in the EU, with an estimated 74.3% of the population living in cities,
