Canadian clean-tech company Aurora Hydrogen has talked about the progress it is making bringing its hydrogen-from-methane technology to market.
Aurora, which has its base in Edmonton in Alberta, has a technology to collect the hydrogen contained in natural gas through a process called methane pyrolysis. Crucially, it is a process that doesn’t emit CO2. The natural gas is heated with microwave energy to produce hydrogen and solid carbon – and it is very efficient in comparison with many other forms of hydrogen production.
“What’s beautiful … is the quick progress [we’ve] made so far – it is very exciting,” said Aurora CEO Andrew Gillis in interview with gasworld.
“Once we had filed the patent application, we got into the early lab work and the outcomes were frankly amazing,” he said. “Technology development takes time, as a rule, but within only two months we had taken great strides. That is incredibly fast.”
