Turquoise Hydrogen Though Methane Pyrolysis
Explore how turquoise hydrogen delivers solutions for efficiency and sustainability.
Methane Pyrolysis Process
Challenge with traditional hydrogen production
Today, most hydrogen is produced using steam methane reforming (SMR) — a process that splits natural gas (methane) into hydrogen and carbon.
But there’s a problem: for every 1 kg of hydrogen made, 7–12 kg of carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere. This makes conventional hydrogen production a major contributor to climate change.
Methane Pyrolysis: Clean Hydrogen with Valuable Carbon Outputs
Like traditional SMR, methane pyrolysis heats up natural gas to a high heat (600-900C) to split the methane into one molecule of clean hydrogen and three molecules of carbon. But rather than then releasing the carbon as CO2 into the atmosphere, our process produces high-value solids like synthetic graphite by injecting a metallurgic catalyst—such as iron ore, which can be sold to off-takers such as EV battery manufacturers for as much as $10,000 per ton.
Eurotech brings the future of clean hydrogen to life
We license the world’s most advanced methane pyrolysis technologies and, together with one of the largest EPCM companies globally, build scalable on-site production plants.
