Mission & Values

Our Mission

To become a leading technology provider transforming methane into affordable clean hydrogen and sustainable graphitic carbon for a resilient and decarbonized industry.

Innovation

Advancing breakthrough technologies into industrial reality.

Sustainability

Driving decarbonization and resource efficiency.

Reliability

Delivering robust, safe, and high-performance solutions.

Commitment

Creating value through close and strategic partnerships.

Excellence

Turning engineering into real-world impact.

Our Technology

Catalytic Methane Splitting

A cost-effective alternative for clean hydrogen production, delivering premium graphitic carbon via our proprietary intermediate-temperature catalytic methane splitting (IT-CMS) process.

Turnkey Plants Easy to Implement

Our turnkey units are delivered in two standard containers, enabling rapid shipping, installation, and commissioning while minimizing complex environmental and industrial permitting requirements. Each unit produces 30 kg/h of clean hydrogen, equivalent to the output of a 1.5 MW electrolyser.

CO₂ Fixation

A selective reaction that generates solid carbon as the only by-product. All atmospheric CO₂ previously captured by biomass and converted into biogas can be permanently stored in the form of solid carbon, enabling the production of zero-emission hydrogen.

Engineered for Profitability

Leverages existing gas infrastructure and operates in a safe, non-corrosive environment, avoiding costly grid connections while increasing resilience and reducing operational vulnerability. Hydrogen can be delivered at an LCOH < €2/kg, with an investment cost < €1.5 million per MW.

WHAT WE OFFER

Our Products

Portable CMS Units

Portable CMS Units

Our compact, modular, containerized plug-and-play units produce clean hydrogen locally from biogas, biomethane, landfill gas, and other feedstocks, transforming waste streams into usable chemical energy.

Fast permitting
Factory pre-assembly
Plug-and-play
Minimal site preparation
With PSA
99.99% H₂

Advanced purification technologies deliver hydrogen with up to 99.99% purity, on demand and locally, reducing exposure to logistical constraints and supply-chain risks.

Without PSA
70% H₂ · 30% CH₄

Without a PSA, our units produce a fuel gas stream ideally suited for combustion-based industrial operations, enabling seamless integration into existing processes.

Carbon Credits
& Sequestration

Replacing fossil fuels with our H₂ generates mitigation credits. When fed with biomethane, solid carbon containing biogenic CO₂ may also generate valuable sequestration carbon credits.
