Me²H2

Hydrogen production

The joint project methane pyrolysis (Me²H2) is researching the production of climate-friendly hydrogen from natural gas. Although there are already processes for converting natural gas into hydrogen, these are not very climate-friendly. In the so-called steam reforming, hydrogen is obtained from hot steam and methane. The byproduct is CO2, which has no further use and is released into the environment. In methane pyrolysis, on the other hand, carbon and hydrocarbons are produced in addition to hydrogen. In addition, there is only one enFraction of the energy that would be needed for water electrolysis, for example.
