Problem
Many commercial and industrial heating applications cannot be electrified, resulting in continued reliance on fossil fuels and significant CO₂ emissions. Existing methods of decarbonization often require extensive infrastructure changes or are prohibitively expensive.
Solution
Modern Hydrogen utilizes natural gas pyrolysis to convert methane into hydrogen gas and solid carbon, reducing CO₂ emissions at the point of use. Their technology breaks down methane before combustion, producing usable hydrogen for on-site heat, power, or feedstock, and solid carbon that can be sequestered in asphalt applications. This process allows for a transition to low and negative-emissions operations without massive infrastructure or process changes, offering a cost-effective and environmentally friendly energy and materials solution. By capturing carbon from methane sources, Modern Hydrogen prevents these emissions from entering the atmosphere.
Target Audience
Modern Hydrogen serves gas utility providers, boiler and furnace OEMs and operators, commercial and industrial heat users, heavy equipment and fleet operators, energy sector and power plants, municipalities and local governments, environmental engineering companies, transportation infrastructure developers, and asphalt companies.
