Description

Methane pyrolysis offers a cost-effective and CO2-free method for producing hydrogen, which is critical for transforming the steel industry towards climate neutrality.The newly inaugurated research center for hydrogen and carbon at Montanuniversität Leoben enables advanced exploration of methane pyrolysis using both metal bath reactors and thermal plasma technologies. INTECO, a renowned technology supplier for the steelindustry, is collaborating to scale up methane pyrolysis to an industrial level. This presentation provides an in-depth overview of current research activities and the progress toward scaling this innovative technology for industrial applications.
