BASF and ExxonMobil plan hydrogen pyrolysis plant in Texas | Hydrogen
Chemicals company BASF and oil and gas firm ExxonMobil have unveiled plans for a demonstration plant that uses methane pyrolysis technology to produce up to 2,000 tonnes of low-carbon hydrogen and 6,000 tonnes of solid carbon product a year. The proposed plant would be located at ExxonMobil’s Baytown complex in Texas and would use existing natural gas infrastructure. The two companies have signed a joint development agreement to co-develop the methane pyrolysis technology and advance it toward commercial scale. Methane pyrolysis uses electricity to split natural gas or biomethane into hydrogen and solid carbon without generating carbon dioxide, and it uses about five times less electricity than water electrolysis and requires no water. … to continue reading this article and more, please login, register for free, or consider subscribing to gasworld You’ve reached your weekly… Read More »BASF and ExxonMobil plan hydrogen pyrolysis plant in Texas | Hydrogen
