Methane Pyrolysis Solution: A Promising Path to Low-Emission Hydrogen Production
The Methane pyrolysis solution has the potential to be a major player as the world strives toward a cleaner and more sustainable future and as the demand for low-emission hydrogen is rapidly increasing. The U.S. government’s Hydrogen Shot™ seeks to reduce the cost of clean hydrogen production to $1 per 1 kilogram in 1 decade […]
Biomass and methane pyrolysis
Harnessing the Power of Biomass In the realm of pyrolysis, the spotlight is often on biomass. When subjected to the right conditions, biomass pyrolysis can yield substantial clean fuels. The Department of Energy gives this definition: “Biomass is a renewable organic resource, includes agriculture crop residues (such as corn stover or wheat straw), forest residues, […]
6 Steps to Achieve Negative Emissions with RNG
Using renewable natural gas (RNG) from biogas to produce hydrogen via methane pyrolysis and achieve negative emissions involves several steps. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown: Biogas Production: Organic waste (e.g., agricultural waste, food waste, sewage sludge) undergoes anaerobic digestion in a biodigester. This process breaks down the organic matter in the absence of oxygen, producing biogas. […]
Integrating Hydrogen into Existing Building Heating Operations
Now more than ever, energy policy discussions are taking center stage in the United States and Europe. As countries explore phasing out their reliance on fossil fuels and embracing the use of renewable energy sources in heating buildings, innovative communities are looking to explore alternatives. Hydrogen is gaining a lot of attention primarily because it […]
Hydrogen Vs. Natural Gas: Can Hydrogen Live Up to The Hype?
With the world still reliant on fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, to meet its ever-increasing energy requirements, there is a strong push to find and use renewable energy sources, like Hydrogen, to displace fossil fuels. Hydrogen (specifically green Hydrogen) has been a viable candidate for decades. However, will the future run […]
Clean Hydrogen From Natural Gas
Every year, we see the impact of global warming becoming greater. Every year we seem to have record high temperatures, droughts, wildfires, increasingly more powerful hurricanes and floods. This puts stress on our energy infrastructure to withstand all these events. In the face of these challenges, people are looking for energy solutions that can be […]
What Hydrogen Future Can We Expect?
Many in the green technology industry see hydrogen as the key to a greener and more environmentally friendly future. A future that does not see us giving up driving, flying, or even manufacturing steel. However, in a world that’s heating up, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council, can we do enough in the time […]
Clean Pyrolysis: The Future of Energy
In this article, we will explore the future role that clean Pyrolysis can play in energy production. Generally speaking, Pyrolysis is a process by which a solid (or a liquid) undergoes thermal degradation. It is converted into smaller molecules. In other words, an original source changes its properties under increased temperature, usually without oxygen. Either […]
Hydrogen Pyrolysis
The search for clean energy solutions to the world’s needs for energy continues to expand. Scientists know that we’re dealing with a climate crisis and that we need to take steps to change how we produce energy, or the damage we are doing to our ecosystem might not be reversible for centuries. While solar plants […]
On-Site Pyrolysis and Renewable Energy
Technically pyrolysis is defined as the thermal degradation of material at a high temperature in the absence of oxygen gas. The resulting byproducts of this degradation are condensate (water/tar) and non-condensable gasses. If the feedstock is biomass, then the byproducts can also include biochar. The proportions for each of these byproducts mainly depend on the […]
