Ebara is making significant progress besides other Japanese companies to develop turquoise hydrogen commericially.
Here’s an article posted in Asia Times
According to the article,
Ebara, a Japanese industrial machinery and plant engineering company, is leading the way in the development of environmentally friendly turquoise hydrogen. Key elements of this innovative technology include:
- Methane Pyrolysis: Turquoise hydrogen is created through the thermal decomposition of natural gas (mostly methane) into hydrogen and solid carbon, which can be sold rather than sequestered.
- No Carbon Dioxide Release: During methane pyrolysis itself, no carbon dioxide is released
While Japan is making significant progress, other countries are not far off too.

Here are the leading countries leading in turquoise hydrogen research and development include:
Japan
- Japan is seen as a pioneer in turquoise hydrogen technology, with several ongoing research and development projects.
- The Mizuho Financial Group report highlights that turquoise hydrogen has the potential to lead hydrogen production in Japan in the future due to its rapid social implementation potential.
- Japanese companies like Ebara Corporation, Taiyo Koko, and Ihara Industries are also actively involved
United States
- The United States is also emerging as a key player in turquoise hydrogen, with companies like C-Zero and Monolith Inc. leading
- C-Zero, a California-based startup, has raised $11.5 million in funding from major companies like Engie, Trafigura, and SK Gas to build a turquoise hydrogen pilot plant.
Canada
- Canada is also making strides in turquoise hydrogen, with partnerships like the one between Suncor Energy, FortisBC, and Hazer Group.
- This partnership aims to leverage Hazer Group’s patented methane pyrolysis technology to produce turquoise hydrogen from natural gas feedstock.
