Hyzon Motors to collaborate with Transform Materials on renewable hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

Our solution is to co-invest in facilities that produce low-cost hydrogen at small volumes, and which can be built in a matter of months. Transform Materials’ clean plasma technology can convert methane into hydrogen and acetylene without the CO 2 emissions that result from traditional processes for generating hydrogen and acetylene.
