RE:RE:Turquoise hydrogenTimeScape wrote: Interesting news from PYR. Could be another major product line for them. There are others who are developing processes for producing zero emission hydrogen from methane, though. Will have to wait and see how the various technologies develop. One of the other methods uses a bi-metallic catalyst (nickel and lead) to produce the hydrogen from methane, and also generates carbon for industrial purposes. It was developed by Pacific Northwest Laboratory/West Virginia University in conjunction with Southern California Gas. Early stage technology.
Research on Methane pyrolysis by thermal plasma have been carried out at MINES-ParisTech for more than 25 years. The technology is now mature and a first commercial plant for the co-production of hydrogen and carbon black is today under construction in the US by MONOLITH Materials.
