What we do
We enable the Oil & Gas industry to seamlessly transition to hydrogen ecosystem, by eliminating the risk of stranded assets.
Net-Zero Transition
Transforming natural gas into a sustainable hydrogen source
Hydrogen Ecosystem
Levelised cost of hydrogen (LCOH) of >US$2/kg
Leverage Existing Assets
Low reactor CapEx of <US$650 per kW-H2(LHV)
Compact & Portable
Superior power density of >15 kW-H2(LHV) per litre of the reactor volume
Profitable By-products
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs)
100x stronger than steel
6x more thermally conductive than copper
Patent Pending Technology
Introducing the world’s first Joule Electrolysis Technology, HyWand™
Technology
Why pyrolysis?
Thermodynamically, hydrogen (H2) production methane pyrolysis requires 7.5-times less energy than water electrolysis. The carbon in methane (CH4) molecule is captured in solid form that is easier to store or use as a value-add feedstock in numerous applications including cement, steel, and composite manufactureres.
Why HyWand™?
Our reactor is:
- Compact, with a record-high power density
- Modular, easily scalable from single-core to multi-core systems
- Electrified, directly uses electricity (from renewables) as the heat source
- Cost-effective, with a low footprint and carbon-based catalysts
- Dual-output, co-producing clean hydrogen and valuable solid nanocarbon (e.g. carbon nanotubes) for advanced materials
Other Markets
- Ammonia as the chemical carrier to deliver cost-effective hydrogen to the refuelling stations (HRS)
- Converting captured or produced methane into hydrogen and solid carbon
