CO₂ Reforming and Methane Pyrolysis: Advancing Decarbonization and Clean Energy

This technology efficiently converts methane, CO₂, and other hydrocarbons into syngas, hydrogen, carbon, and heat through a combination of CO₂ reforming and methane pyrolysis. Feedstocks can include methane from natural gas, biogas, or other hydrocarbons, enabling the generation of clean energy from diverse sources.

The low-carbon outputs from these processes contribute to the decarbonization of transportation and heavy industries, providing economic and scalable solutions for both small and large-scale production. By reducing the carbon intensity of these sectors, these technologies enable carbon savings while supporting productivity in carbon-intensive industries.

This approach supports progress toward carbon-neutral goals and the development of new clean energy pathways from varied feedstock sources, advancing the energy transition and significantly reducing global emissions.

Background

As a spinoff from MIT in 2018, MAAT Energy was formed with the vision of using microwave to make molecules for decarbonization. Initial molecules are carbon, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide from methane and carbon dioxide.

We are a team of entrepreneurs, scientists and engineers with proven experience in commercialization from concept to full scale in the automobile, cement, power generation, and chemical industries. Our team includes one of the founders of Carbon Recycling International.

We are developing a platform with multiple chemistries, initially focusing on reforming methane and carbon dioxide to produce hydrogen for transport, carbon for tire, and syngas for methanol and jet fuel.
