Problem
Many industries rely on natural gas for high-temperature process heat, resulting in significant carbon dioxide emissions. Traditional methods of producing solid carbon also generate substantial CO2, contributing to climate change.
Solution
Spark provides a technology that produces decarbonized hydrogen and solid carbon through hydrogen methane plasmalysis, reducing electricity consumption compared to other methods. The hydrogen produced serves as a direct substitute for natural gas in industrial heating applications, enabling decarbonization of sectors like metallurgy and chemical manufacturing. The solid carbon is created without combustion, eliminating CO2 emissions associated with conventional solid carbon production, and can be used in various applications, including tires, batteries, and plastics. Spark offers on-site production units, providing a clean-energy-as-a-service model that integrates into existing infrastructure without requiring costly retrofits.
Target Audience
The primary customers are industrial companies in sectors such as metallurgy, cement, glass, chemical, and automotive that require high-temperature process heat and seek to reduce their carbon footprint, as well as companies that use solid carbon in their manufacturing processes.
