Modern Hydrogen’s distributed natural gas pyrolysis technologies are low-energy, low-cost, and low-emission.
Starting with natural gas inputs, Modern systems use heat to crack natural gas into hydrogen and solid carbon. Taking advantage of existing pipeline infrastructure means reliable delivery of natural gas products without the cost, logistics risks, and operations challenges associated with truck deliveries and high-pressure storage. Modern’s process is thermally driven and catalyst-free, which means domestically sourced inputs, simplified operations, and minimal electrical loads.
The Process of Converting Natural Gas to Usable Hydrogen and Solid Modern Carbon
Natural Gas & Biogas
We take natural gas and biological equivalents from existing sources.
Natural Gas Cracking
Our distributed natural gas pyrolysis technology uses heat to processes natural gas into its molecular components: hydrogen and solid carbon.
High Value Hydrogen & Asphalt Paving Products
Our hydrogen customers use Modern products for feedstock and fuel. Our carbon customers use Modern products to make asphalt infrastructure stronger and more resilient.
How Does Natural Gas Pyrolysis Work?
Connect to natural gas source.
Natural gas enters the system.
The solid carbon and hydrogen are separated, and the carbon is packaged for delivery to asphalt producers.
The solid carbon and hydrogen are separated, and the carbon is removed from the system.
Modern Hydrogen recycles some hydrogen to provide ongoing system heat. The rest of the hydrogen is delivered for use in feedstocks, heating, heavy duty fueling, and power generation.
Hydrogen can potentially revolutionize energy production for electricity and transportation — a response to spiking oil prices and the escalating climate crisis. Modern Hydrogen is promising.”
