What is Hydrogen?
Hydrogen is looked upon as the next major energy source to fuel economic development in the automobile and energy sector.
Hydrogen is a chemical element that is estimated to make up 75% of the mass of the universe! As a fuel, Hydrogen is a comparatively clean fuel. When consumed in a fuel cell it only produces water as a by-product.
Hydrogen can be produced through a variety of domestic resources, such as natural gas (e.g., methane), nuclear power, biomass, and renewable power like solar and wind. These qualities make it an attractive fuel option for transportation and electricity generation applications. It can be used in cars, in houses, for portable power supplies, and in many other applications.
Hydrogen is an energy carrier that can be used to store, move, and deliver energy produced from other sources. The chemical energy density stored in a unit amount of hydrogen gas can significantly outperform any other known source of energy reservoir of equivalent amount, barring nuclear energy. Today, hydrogen fuel can be produced through several methods, however many historical processes result in greenhouse emissions that are harmful to the environment.
The Synergen Met Plasma process enables hydrogen to be produced in significant quantities, with net zero emissions of harmful chemicals or materials. Our process is executed within a modular, transportable and rapidly scalable platform that we developed over 10+ years.
By thermal splitting of methane (methane pyrolysis) Synergen Met can produce hydrogen and a solid carbon (graphite), instead of producing carbon dioxide emissions. Prerequisites for the carbon dioxide neutrality of the process are the heat supply of the high-temperature reactor from renewable energy sources, as well as the permanent binding of the carbon. Although hydrogen is an invisible, colourless gas, it is given these colour-based names based on the colour of the flame that results when it is burned.
