Graphitic Energy, previously known as C-Zero, has partnered with Technip Energies in San Antonio to develop and deploy methane pyrolysis technology for clean hydrogen and graphite production. This collaboration includes funding for testing campaigns and a future licensing agreement to facilitate global deployment. The technology stands out for producing hydrogen and solid carbon with no direct CO2 emissions and being cost-competitive without government subsidies. The companies plan to leverage Technip Energies' experience in hydrogen generation and fluidized bed technology to standardize plant designs, reducing costs and accelerating project timelines. The methane pyrolysis technology has been successfully demonstrated at Graphitic's pilot plant in Texas, funded by over $65 million in investments. Graphitic Energy's CEO, Zach Jones, emphasized the efficiency and market readiness of their technology. Technip Energies' Senior Vice President, Mario Tommaselli, highlighted the commitment to sustainable solutions and cost-effective hydrogen production. Both companies aim to revolutionize the energy sector by providing clean hydrogen and graphite while minimizing environmental impacts and operational costs. The partnership signifies a significant step towards a more sustainable and economically viable future for hydrogen production.
