Hydrogen and graphite production

Energy distribution and utilities

Hydrogen produced via methane pyrolysis, resulting in hydrogen gas and solid carbon black, with claimed emissions-free production when powered by renewable energy.

A process that thermally cracks methane into hydrogen and synthetic graphite without emitting CO2. It operates at over 1200°C and is presented as a third route to hydrogen production, distinct from steam methane reforming and electrolysis.

Engineering services collaboration between Hazer Group and FortisBC in Canada for hydrogen project development.

Methane pyrolysis technology that produces zero-carbon hydrogen from natural gas while capturing carbon emissions as solid synthetic graphite. This is the first application of the technology in North America.
