Product Overview

Overview

Modern Hydrogen decarbonizes natural gas at the meter and generates clean hydrogen at the point of use for commercial & industrial process heat, without CO2 emissions.

*Available for pre-order now:

  • Decarbonized natural at the point of use: Modern Hydrogen's gas processing units remove solid carbon from natural gas, and eliminate the need for hydrogen transmission, distribution, and storage costs. Pilot Scale:

    • ME-H5 - 5kg H2 per day (569,000 BTUs) - Technical Demonstration units only - No Longer Available

    Commercial Scale prototypes:

    • ME-H500* - 500kg H2 per day (57,000,000 BTUs each); Modular construction allows for configurable systems to decarbonize existing, baseload process steam and heat. Deliveries begin 2025 - Reserve your system today to ensure decarbonization without the delay of waiting for piped hydrogen.

Modern Asphalt Modern Asphalt stands out by using less binder than traditional asphalt, significantly reducing embodied carbon and costs. By incorporating solid carbon derived from natural gas, Modern Asphalt offers a sustainable solution for public roads, as demonstrated in San Antonio.

Business Model
  • Prototype units are structured as leases.

  • LDC customers have 2 options:

    1. Buy the hardware and a pre-paid service contract or
    1. Buy gas decarbonization as a service.
  • Process heat users can buy Decarbonized Steam/Heat as a Service or Hydrogen as a Service.

Technology Innovations
  • This is a thermal, non-catalytic pyrolysis with no electric heating.
  • The technology does not use molten media, liquid metals, or complex heat sources. As a result operating expenses are low.
  • Solid carbon outputs are safe, stable, easy to measure, easy to manage, and easy to sequester in bulk building materials.
Applications

Modern Hydrogen’s gas decarbonization technologies are designed to deliver verified carbon removal and low CI-hydrogen at the point of use for combustion and fleet fueling.

Industrial Process Heat: When bundled with pre-existing partner boilers, Modern Hydrogen delivers decarbonized steam as a service. By decarbonizing natural gas and delivering clean hydrogen on location, Modern Hydrogen enables plug and play, low-CI heat and steam, from existing natural gas connections, with no change to systems, pipes, or operations.

LDC’s: Modern Hydrogen helps local gas utilities reduce downstream Scope 3 emissions by decarbonizing natural gas and enabling targeted delivery of decarbonized fuel to key Commercial and Industrial accounts. When appropriate, Modern Hydrogen teams with industrial boiler and furnace OEMs to deliver decarbonized heat and steam for LDC-programming and decarbonization solutions.

Fleet fueling Modern Hydrogen's distributed pyrolysis technology delivers on-site hydrogen to businesses with a gas connection. Optimized for large warehouse fleet operations and long-haul trucking, Modern Hydrogen eliminates supply chain risks, expensive onsite storage requirements, and electric grid capacity/reliability concerns.

Modern Carbon Modern Carbon's products are designed to significantly lower material costs while enhancing the performance of concrete, asphalt, and rubber. Utilizing an ultra-low emission pyrolysis process, these products boast the industry's lowest embodied CO2 rating, leading to reduced material usage, fewer emissions, and the creation of longer-lasting products. This approach supports a more sustainable built environment by focusing on efficiency and durability.
