Low-carbon hydrogen, at a competitive price.

HyPlasma® separates methane molecules into hydrogen and solid carbon — a plasma-based route to hydrogen with no direct CO₂ emissions, and solid carbon recovered in multiple marketable forms.

How it works

CH₄ → 2 H₂ + C. No combustion, so no CO₂.

The plasma arc splits methane directly into hydrogen and solid carbon. Unlike steam reforming, nothing is burned or oxidised.

2

Three-phase plasma arc — above 3,000°C; the arc mixes the gas, no oxygen is involved.

APPLICATIONS

Four places where HyPlasma hydrogen fits.

Oil and gas — eliminating flaring

On oil and gas sites, associated methane is often flared due to unstable composition or lack of infrastructure. HyPlasma converts this methane into hydrogen and solid carbon via plasma pyrolysis, avoiding direct CO₂ emissions and transforming a liability into valuable low-carbon products.

Steel and metals — supplying clean hydrogen

HyPlasma supports the transition toward low-carbon steelmaking by supplying hydrogen suitable for Direct Reduction of Iron (DRI) and hybrid processes. Replacing fossil-based reducing agents cuts emissions, while the solid carbon co-product can be valorised.

Chemicals, ammonia and synthetic fuels

Hydrogen generated by HyPlasma can serve as feedstock for ammonia synthesis, methanol production and other chemical processes. It also supports synthetic fuel pathways — an alternative to hydrogen from conventional reforming, without the associated direct CO₂.

Biogas and renewable gas upgrading

The technology is compatible with biogas and other renewable methane streams. Converting methane from agricultural waste or sewage treatment into hydrogen and solid carbon supports circular-economy models while cutting the emissions of conventional biogas combustion.
