PyroGenesis comes up with a method for producing turquoise hydrogen that is plasma-based, i.e., by using its patented zero carbon emission (ZCE) process
Here’s an article posted in Proactive Investors.
According to the article,
- PyroGenesis, a Montreal-based company, has developed a patented zero-carbon emission process to create “turquoise” hydrogen
- The plasma-based hydrogen production process could become a solution and alternative to carbon-intensive hydrogen production technologies
- This achievement is a testament to PyroGenesis’ 25-plus years of expertise in plasma-based processes
Here are some other companies that have come up with innovative methods to produce turquoise hydrogen:
- Hazer Group Limited has patented a process that uses iron ore as a catalyst to produce hydrogen and high-quality graphite from methane. The use of iron ore as a catalyst significantly reduces the reaction temperature required for the chemical reaction to occur, forming the core of Hazer’s intellectual property
- Ekona Power Inc. is developing a turquoise hydrogen production method that uses a combination of thermal plasma and molten metal catalysts. Their process uses partial combustion and fired heaters to heat methane to temperatures between 1,200-1,500°C, and achieves a single pass methane conversion rate of 70-80%, producing hydrogen and solid carbon as byproducts
- HiiROC, a UK-based company, has created a turquoise hydrogen production process called Thermal Plasma Electrolysis, that uses thermal plasma to split methane into hydrogen and solid carbon. Their method is designed to be scalable and suitable for decentralized hydrogen production
