Graphitic Energy, formerly known as C-Zero, has partnered with Technip Energies in San Antonio to advance their methane pyrolysis technology for converting natural gas into clean hydrogen and graphite. This collaboration includes funding for testing campaigns and plans for a licensing agreement to expedite technology deployment worldwide. The innovative process developed by Graphitic Energy allows for the production of clean hydrogen and solid carbon without direct CO2 emissions, offering a scalable solution capable of generating 100,000 metric tons of hydrogen annually. Technip Energies brings its expertise in hydrogen generation and fluidized bed technology to the partnership, aiming to standardize plant designs for global implementation. The collaboration emphasizes the companies' commitment to sustainable and cost-effective low-carbon solutions, with a focus on reducing overall capital costs and project implementation time. Unlike other low-carbon hydrogen production methods, Graphitic's technology is economically viable without government subsidies and can operate profitably based on market prices. Moreover, the flexibility of the technology enables it to be deployed in locations with access to natural gas or LNG, eliminating the need for renewable electricity or CO2 sequestration. The joint efforts of Graphitic Energy and Technip Energies represent a significant step forward in advancing clean hydrogen production technologies.
