Hyzon Motors to collaborate with Transform Materials on renewable hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

Together, Hyzon and Transform Materials will evaluate proposals to develop facilities to produce low-to-negative carbon intensity hydrogen from various forms of methane, prioritizing biogas and renewable natural gas. The production of hydrogen as a co-product with acetylene provides significantly advantaged hydrogen cost structures.
