HiiROC is an industrial company focused on producing hydrogen through a proprietary process that converts biomethane, flare gas, or natural gas into hydrogen without emitting CO2. Utilizing advanced plasma technology, HiiROC's modular and scalable systems generate low-cost, zero-emission hydrogen with significantly reduced energy requirements compared to traditional methods like water electrolysis. Additionally, HiiROC produces solid carbon as a byproduct instead of CO2, offering a sustainable alternative to conventional carbon black production methods that rely on high-emission oil furnace techniques. This innovative approach not only minimizes environmental impact but also enables clients to achieve lower capital and operational costs in their hydrogen production endeavors.
