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
