“We celebrated the official inauguration of Hycamite’s new Customer Sample Facility (CSF), a plant that will produce 2,000 tons of low-carbon hydrogen and 6,000 tons of high-value carbon annually”, the company reported. “This plant is the first of many around the globe.
The plant will produce both low-carbon hydrogen and high-quality solid carbon products to demonstrate the viability of Hycamite’s new methane-splitting technology. This technology decomposes large volumes of methane into its component elements – hydrogen and carbon – without releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The process is also called methane pyrolysis.The decarbonization capacity of CSF can reach 18 000 tons of CO₂ per year when liquefied natural gas (LNG) is used. Based on a life-cycle assessment (LCA) of Hycamite’s methane-splitting technology by the non-profit German research institute FfE, our carbon footprint in Finland is below 1 kg CO₂e/kg H₂. When biogas is used as the methane source, we create a carbon sink”.
