Dihydrogen gas used in Haber’s process is produced by reacting methane from natural gas with high-temperature steam. The first stage of two-stage reaction involves the formation of CO and H2. In the second stage, CO formed in the first stage is reacted with more steam in water gas shift reaction,
\[\ce{CO (g) + H2O (g) ⇌ CO2 (g) + H2 (g)}\]
