Wintershall Dea AG

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.

Earth Science Analytics (ESA) mission is to improve exploration success in challenging geological settings by providing geoscience-driven machine learning workflows and software. We aim to provide high quality data- driven predictions to clients in the E&P industry more efficiently, with greater precision and at lower cost compared to traditional methods.
