Transform Materials plasma process converts abundant natural gas into high-value hydrogen and acetylene

Green Car Congress

Transform Materials has developed a novel and sustainable microwave plasma reactor process to convert natural gas into high-value hydrogen and acetylene, thereby opening up a new pathway for green chemical manufacturing. But methane is extremely inert in an oxygen-free environment and resists chemical reactions.
