Methane pyrolisis
Description
Hydrogen is a key pillar to achieve the targets of the global decarbonization strategy, as it has a fundamental role in decarbonizing the Hard-to-abate industrial sector and in enabling renewables integration into the grid by sector coupling. Still, supplying hydrogen at low cost and in a sustainable way is a huge technological and systemic challenge.
The new technological frontier for this is turquoise hydrogen, generated from the methane pyrolysis (thermal decomposition), which is the breaking down of methane to produce hydrogen and solid carbon, a process with no emissions of carbon dioxide. This reaction occurs at high temperatures in the absence of oxygen.
