Saudi Aramco: Sustainable H₂ production through methane pyrolysis
The methane (CH₄) pyrolysis process [also known as CH₄ cracking or turquoise hydrogen (H₂ ) production] is a thermal (high-temperature) breakdown of CH₄ into H₂ gas and solid carbon. The process typically takes place above 800°C in the absence of oxygen. The main products of the CH₄ pyrolysis process are H₂ and solid carbon, commonly known as carbon black, graphite and graphene. The process of CH₄ pyrolysis is as follows
