FAQ

ROTOBOOST’s TCD system decarbonizes hydrocarbon gases from C1 to C6. (C1 = methane; C2 = ethane; C3 = propane; C4 = butane; C5 = pentane; C6 = hexane).

The amount of hydrogen produced by our system depends on customer requirement, gas feedstock and system configurations.

ROTOBOOST TCD technology is a pre-combustion technology that contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by converting hydrocarbons into hydrogen gas and solid carbon, thereby reducing the carbon footprint associated with traditional fossil fuel usage and biofuels.

Pre-combustion carbon removal as solid carbon avoids CO₂ management and sequestration. Solid carbon is much easier to manage. Solid carbon does not require compression, liquefaction or the requirement of special logistics and it is six times less in volume, and hence lower carbon footprint for aftertreatment. It also provides multiple benefits in terms of economics and emissions reduction through use of carbon in steel manufacturing, battery production, tyre industry and other high emissions sectors.

The types of carbon obtained through the TCD process are graphene and nanoplatelets. The carbon is tunable depending on the feedstock and system requirement. Graphene nanoplatelets can have various applications, such as in the production of batteries, carbon composites, or as a feedstock for other industrial processes.

The system can be integrated into facilities through various means, such as retrofitting existing infrastructure or designing new facilities with TCD technology incorporated into the processes that are developed with the customer and partners.

ROTOBOOST TCD technology can be used in various applications, including generation of valuable carbon materials, hydrogen production, decarbonization of natural gas, decarbonization of flare gas, power production (marine and onland), conventional hydrogen production method replacement (gasification and SMR) and VOC (Volatile organic compound) conversion to useful products.
