Methane splitting offers a promising route for producing hydrogen without emitting CO2, making it a key technology in accelerating the energy transition. The EIC-funded ZeroCarb project will advance this field by developing an intermediate-temperature catalytic methane splitting (IT-CMS) reactor that runs on biomethane and green electricity. 
Building on the success of the EU-funded 112CO2 project, ZeroCarb will develop and operate a demonstration unit capable of producing 2 kg/h of hydrogen and 6 kg/h of graphitic carbon. 
This unit, including all necessary balance-of-plant components, will serve as a proof-of-concept of the IT-CMS technology positioned as a highly promising alternative for clean hydrogen production in refineries, ammonia plants and methanol facilities. This hydrogen is not only green but also cost-effective while generating carbon credits.
