Elemental Carbon Market Assessment – Joint Industry Project

Methane pyrolysis produces hydrogen and solid elemental carbon from natural gas with low GHG emissions and energy intensity, without needing carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS). Pyrolysis solid carbon by-products comprise a wide range of elemental carbon forms with various properties and market values. Technology developers and end users see the development of carbon applications as a key challenge and opportunity to make methane pyrolysis economic. In this Joint Industry Project (JIP), InnoTech Alberta and the project partners are supporting adoption and growth of methane pyrolysis by identifying applications, valuating markets, and assessing technoeconomic feasibility for elemental carbon products.
