Graphitic Energy Commissions Pilot Plant to Produce Low-Cost Clean Hydrogen and Graphite Novel methane pyrolysis technology converts abundant natural gas into zero-emission hydrogen and graphite to meet energy and critical mineral needs
AI generated summary
Graphitic Energy, previously known as C-Zero, has launched a pilot plant in San Antonio, Texas, to demonstrate its innovative methane pyrolysis technology. This facility aims to convert natural gas into low-cost, zero-emission hydrogen and solid graphite, producing several hundred kilograms of hydrogen and up to 1,000 kg of solid carbon daily. The pilot plant will operate continuously until the end of 2025, focusing on gathering data for future commercial-scale plants and supplying carbon to its partners.
The technology boasts minimal CO2 emissions and low electricity requirements, allowing for the potential production of 100,000 metric tons of hydrogen annually without needing government subsidies. Graphitic Energy's approach not only enhances energy security by utilizing abundant natural gas but also contributes to domestic supply chains for critical minerals. Supported by a recent $15 million funding extension, the company is positioned as a leader in the clean hydrogen sector, attracting significant investments from notable firms in the energy space.
