Wintershall Dea

HiiROC is an industrial company that produces hydrogen from biomethane, flare gas, or natural gas with no CO2 emissions. The company's proprietary technology enables low-cost, zero-emission hydrogen production at a cost comparable to steam methane reforming but without the emissions and using one-fifth of the energy required by water electrolysis. Its zero-emission carbon black can replace that made by the existing high-emission/pollution oil furnace production method. HiiROC is pioneering a new approach to methane cracking that produces solid carbon rather than CO2 emissions and thus does not contribute to global warming.
