The project will demonstrate Ekona’s novel Pulse Methane Pyrolysis (PMP) process for low-cost clean hydrogen production with a solid carbon by-product. The project will additionally demonstrate a Direct Carbon Fuel Cell (DCFC), which when added to the PMP, creates a tri-generation pyrolysis (TGP) system.
Development and Testing of a Proof-of-Concept Tri-Generation Pyrolysis (TGP) Platform for Low-Cost Green Hydrogen Production
Ekona had to show a proof-of-concept for the Pulse Methane Pyrolysis (PMP) reactor and a Direct Carbon Fuel Cell to validate the technology to TRL3 and inform subsequent prototype, brass-board, and field trial development.
