Currently, commercial hydrogen is produced by steam-methane reforming (SMR), at a cost of < $2.0 / kg H2. However, SMR is associated with higher CO₂ waste per kilogram H₂ produced.
While electrolysis is an alternative method for hydrogen production associated with low CO₂ waste, 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 low-cost hydrogen.
