Title:

Hydrogen Production by Catalytic Decomposition of Methane (CDM)
Value Proposition:
  • Zero CO₂ emissions and high-purity hydrogen without water-gas shift 
  • Carbon by-product potentially usable in materials
Summary Application:

Methane decomposition process for generating high-purity hydrogen, with solid carbon as the only by-product.
Advantages:
  • Clean hydrogen for fuel cells, refining, electronics, chemical synthesis
  • Carbon for battery electrodes, composites
Tech. Readiness Level:
