1. A method for reforming ammonia, comprising:
a. heating a first reformer to a first target temperature range;
b. directing ammonia to the first reformer to produce reformate comprising hydrogen and nitrogen;
c. combusting the reformate to heat a second reformer to a second target temperature range; and
d. directing additional ammonia to the second reformer to produce additional reformate, wherein a first portion of a reformate stream is combusted to heat the second reformer while ammonia is being reformed in the second reformer,
wherein the reformate stream comprises the reformate, the additional reformate, or a combination thereof.
