The process of reducing or eliminating carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions generated by industrial sectors
Hydrogen produced at (or near) the point of use, eliminating the need for expensive and/or risky transportation and storage
The process in which natural gas is heated to split carbon and hydrogen atoms from one another. Methane gas (commonly known as natural gas and/or biogas) is a molecule made up of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms (CH4).
Hydrogen generated through methane pyrolysis using a method where the resulting carbon is not released as CO2 (but instead captured as a solid), and when the energy used to heat the methane gas does not contribute additional CO2 emissions
The technologies and processes used to capture carbon and carbon dioxide emissions and then put them to productive economic use. This approach to reducing air pollution removes greenhouse gases from the atmosphere and/or prevents greenhouse gases from entering the atmosphere.
The use of hydrogen in utility sectors to reduce carbon emissions in the global shift towards cleaner energy solutions
The technologies and processes used to capture carbon and carbon dioxide emissions and then sequester them. This approach to reducing air pollution removes greenhouse gases from the atmosphere and/or prevents greenhouse gases from entering the atmosphere.
Methane is a molecule made up of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms. Methane is a hydrocarbon with the chemical symbol CH4. Methane gas is naturally created when organic matter decomposes.
Methane is generated naturally. Burning methane creates large amounts of CO2 pollution. Releasing/leaking methane into the atmosphere in large, accelerated, highly concentrated amounts creates large amounts of pollution.
Known as “natural gas,” methane is most commonly pumped from naturally occurring geological reservoirs. Methane gas is also increasingly captured as biogas that would otherwise be released from landfills, farms, and wastewater treatment facilities.
