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

Green Car Congress

But methane is extremely inert in an oxygen-free environment and resists chemical reactions. For acetylene users, Transform Materials enables on-site production of this important precursor, guaranteeing surety of supply, conveniently and at low cost. Oxidation of methane also introduces impurities in the product stream.
