Breakthrough in Methane Splitting

The 112CO2 Project Achieves Key Milestones with Ni-Based and Fe Catalysts

The cost of hydrogen production will be 30% cheaper using methane splitting than mature SMR

Paul Wurth’s analysis of the methane splitting reactor highlights its competitive edge over Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) and electrolysis technologies, offering lower costs, reduced emissions, and the potential for negative emissions when using renewable energy and biogas.
