Methane cracking to usable hydrogen and carbon
The 'Methane cracking to usable hydrogen and carbon' program, identified as HORIZON-CL5-2021-D2-01-09, focuses on developing breakthrough technologies for producing climate-neutral hydrogen from methane without CO2 emissions. This initiative aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in hard-to-decarbonize sectors and generate economically valuable solid carbon by-products. It represents a crucial step towards a more sustainable and climate-neutral energy system.
