Low-carbon hydrogen, at a competitive price.
HyPlasma® separates methane molecules into hydrogen and solid carbon — a plasma-based route to hydrogen with no direct CO₂ emissions, and solid carbon recovered in multiple marketable forms.

CH₄ → 2 H₂ + C. No combustion, so no CO₂.
The plasma arc splits methane directly into hydrogen and solid carbon. Unlike steam reforming, nothing is burned or oxidised.
- (Bio)methane in — natural gas, biogas or flare gas, 1–6 barg.
- Three-phase plasma arc — above 3,000 °C; the arc’s motion mixes the gas, no oxygen involved.
- Hydrogen and solid carbon out — two valuable products, zero direct CO₂.
Four places where HyPlasma® hydrogen fits.
Oil and gas — eliminating flaring
On oil and gas sites, associated methane is often flared due to unstable composition or lack of infrastructure. HyPlasma® converts this methane into hydrogen and solid carbon via plasma pyrolysis, avoiding direct CO₂ emissions and transforming a liability into valuable low-carbon products.
Steel and metals — supplying clean hydrogen
HyPlasma® supports the transition toward low-carbon steelmaking by supplying hydrogen suitable for Direct Reduction of Iron (DRI) and hybrid processes. Replacing fossil-based reducing agents cuts emissions, while the solid carbon co-product can be valorised.
Chemicals, ammonia and synthetic fuels
Hydrogen generated by HyPlasma® can serve as feedstock for ammonia synthesis, methanol production and other chemical processes. It also supports synthetic fuel pathways — an alternative to hydrogen from conventional reforming, without the associated direct CO₂.
Biogas and renewable gas upgrading
The technology is compatible with biogas and other renewable methane streams. Converting methane from agricultural waste or sewage treatment into hydrogen and solid carbon supports circular-economy models while cutting the emissions of conventional biogas combustion.
