Months later, forced to stay inside on a rainy Finnish summer day, he rediscovered these articles and saw potential. Matti, an experienced clean tech entrepreneur, reached out to Laura Rahikka, an accomplished lecturer in process engineering. Laura confirmed that Professor Ulla Lassi from the University of Oulu already had expertise that could be of use in commercializing methane-splitting. Excited to start developing a new methane-splitting technology, Laura contacted Niina Grönqvist, an experienced multi-talent in chemical engineering and chemistry. With the help of Ulla Lassi’s research, Matti, Laura and Niina decided to start a company.
In 2020, inspired by Donald Duck’s “The Mad Chemist” story, Hycamite was born. The name combines “hydrogen” and “carbon” to reflect our mission.
Hycamite’s story is a testament to the organic blend of intellect and innovation, crafting a future where research and knowledge drive new sustainable solutions. We invite the world to join us on this transformative journey, where we make the impossible possible.
On Thursday, September 5th, we celebrated the official inauguration of Hycamite’s new Customer Sample Facility (CSF), a plant that will produce up to 2,000 tons of low-carbon hydrogen and 6,000 tons of high-value carbon annually. The CSF’s decarbonization capacity is up to 18,000 tons of CO2 annually. This plant is the first of many around the globe.
And we are only getting started.
