Methane pyrolysis is a method to produce turquoise hydrogen; has a lot of potential for growth along with blue and green hydrogen.
Here’s an article posted in Id Tech Ex that talks about Turquoise Hydrogen’s role in decarbonization.
According to the article,
- Methane pyrolysis generates turquoise hydrogen, a promising alternative to blue and green hydrogen for decarbonization.
- Turquoise hydrogen is produced through methane pyrolysis, which splits methane molecules into hydrogen and solid carbon.
- The turquoise hydrogen market is expected to increase exponentially in the near future due to the rise in demand for sustainable fuel.
Let’s compare green, blue, and turquoise hydrogen production methods in a table:
| Aspect | Green Hydrogen | Blue Hydrogen | Turquoise Hydrogen |
|---|---|---|---|
| Production Method | Water electrolysis (renewable) | Natural gas reforming | Methane pyrolysis |
| Emissions | Climate-neutral | Lower emissions (with CCS) | Lower emissions (solid carbon) |
| By-Product | Oxygen | Carbon dioxide (captured) | Solid carbon (carbon black) |
| Application | Clean energy for various sectors | Alternative to fossil fuels | Decarbonizing industries |
| Example | Using excess renewable energy | Reforming natural gas with CCS | C-Zero Inc.’s pilot project |
Remember that each method has its own trade-offs, and the choice depends on factors like cost, infrastructure, and environmental impact.
