日本のGX文脈において
日本は水素社会実現に向け、低炭素水素製造技術が重要。本研究のMLベース最適化フレームワークは、国内の水素サプライチェーン構築やCCUS統合に応用可能。特に、トリリフォーミングによるCO2有効利用は、日本のカーボンリサイクル戦略と親和性が高い。
In the global GX context
Globally, low-emission hydrogen production is critical for decarbonization. This paper demonstrates how interpretable machine learning can accelerate process optimization for methane tri-reforming, which integrates CO2 utilization. The framework supports rapid screening of operating conditions, relevant for scaling hydrogen production with carbon capture (blue hydrogen) and advancing CCUS technologies.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Tri-reforming of methane (TRM) is a promising route for producing hydrogen-rich syngas while partially utilizing CO2, but its deployment is limited by trade-offs among methane conversion, syngas composition, reactor duty, and carbon deposition. In this study, a Gibbsequilibrium model in Aspen Plus was used to generate a database of 46,464 operating points spanning temperature, pressure, and inlet H2O/CH4, CO2/CH4, and O2/CH4 ratios. Decision tree, random forest, XGBoost, and artificial neural network models were trained and compared, followed by SHAP and permutation-importance analysis and multi-objective genetic-algorithm optimization. The neural network showed the best predictive performance. Explainability analysis identified temperature as the dominant factor governing carbon formation, followed by steam, carbon dioxide, and oxygen feed ratios. Optimization revealed multiple distinct operating windows, confirming that no single universal optimum exists and demonstrating a rapid, interpretable framework for low-emission TRM screening and design.
