KIT and Wintershall Dea collaborating to develop industrial-scale methane pyrolysis for CO2-free production of hydrogen

Green Car Congress

Methane pyrolysis separates methane (CH 4 ) into gaseous hydrogen and solid carbon that is a valuable material for various industry branches and can also be stored safely. Direct thermal cracking of methane and other hydrocarbons is a way to produce hydrogen from natural gas without direct CO 2 emissions. —Prof Wetzel.
