Clean hydrogen and carbon black production

Investment firm

Automotive

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.

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

Nebraska

Monolith Materials' first commercial-scale emission-free production facility, designed for the production of about 14,000 metric tons of carbon black every year using clean hydrogen.

Emissions-free hydrogen produced via methane pyrolysis, powered by 100 percent renewable energy.

A solid carbon material produced as a byproduct of turquoise hydrogen manufacturing, used in industrial and automotive sectors.

Clean ammonia produced using hydropower, intended for export and industrial use.
