Currently, commercial hydrogen is produced by steam-methane reforming (SMR), at a cost of < $2.0 / kg H2. However, SMR has high carbon intensity. While electrolysis is an environmentally friendly method for hydrogen production, the cost of hydrogen generation using electrolysis is typically > $4.0 / kg H2. Maat Energy’s technology reduces the required power by 75% compared to electrolysis.
Our methane pyrolysis produces valuable carbon and clean hydrogen.
