Problem
Current methods for producing green hydrogen and syngas, such as electrolysis, can be energy-intensive and costly. These methods may also require precious materials and novel manufacturing processes, hindering scalability and affordability.
Solution
OMC Thermochemistry offers a low-cost, scalable thermochemical system for producing green hydrogen and syngas from carbon dioxide and water. Their process utilizes a proprietary active material composed of globally abundant ingredients within existing industrial fluidized bed reactors. By leveraging thermal energy instead of electrical energy to drive the reaction, the system achieves high efficiency and operates at process-relevant pressures with zero emissions. This approach allows for the simultaneous splitting of CO2 and H2O with perfect selectivity, resulting in significantly lower operating and construction costs compared to electrolysis or reverse water gas shift reactions.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes industries that require hydrogen, emit waste heat, or generate CO2 emissions, such as refining, ammonia production, and steelmaking.
