A breakthrough technology is developed for the indusctrial scale production of cost competitive hydrogen at significantly reduced carbon footprint. In addition, a CO2 utilization process is investigated to produce synthesis gas based on hydrogen and CO2. Three main process elements are involved: (i) pyrolytic decomposition of natural gas into hydrogen and carbon, (ii) carbon formulation for applications in coke and steel production, (iii) CO2 utilization based on catalytic conversion of hydrogen and CO2 to produce synthesis gas (RWGS CO2 activation).
