Published purpose
Ekona has built and tested a 200 kg-H2/day methane pyrolysis system at its Burnaby-based pilot facility. This proposed project will expand the site with a next-generation reactor for higher efficiency, increased capacity to 500 kg-H2/day, and upgraded carbon handling and gas cleanup systems to enable continuous production of clean hydrogen and carbon black. This project will advance firm’s methane pyrolysis technology from TRL 5 to TRL7 and develop a pilot plant, forming the design basis for Ekona’s early commercial field demonstration.
