Decarbonized fossil fuels can solve shipping’s emissions problems
This article was previously published on LinkedIn by Tommi Viiperi Rapid action is needed to reduce carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from maritime transport. Maritime transport accounts for almost 3% of global CO₂ emissions. Between 2023 and 2050, maritime transport will grow significantly due to expected increases in world trade and population growth. The maritime sector […]
Synthetic graphite with a very low carbon footprint? It’s possible!
We completed a new proof of concept to produce graphite. With it, we can make large amounts of synthetic graphite from methane with a very low carbon footprint. Emissions related to graphite production can be radically reduced.
We can decarbonize car batteries by splitting methane
Electric vehicle batteries, supercapacitors, electric cables and building elements made with composite materials or concrete can be made with significantly lower life cycle emissions. They can even be significant carbon sinks. This is possible with high-quality solid carbon captured using the latest methane-splitting technology.
The largest methane-splitting hydrogen plant in Europe will begin operations this fall
Hycamite is constructing Europe’s largest methane-splitting hydrogen plant in Finland. The next ones will be built in the USA. The modular structure makes it possible to scale up production plants rapidly. With a network of similar plants, we will provide cost-efficient, low-carbon hydrogen and high-quality carbon as a service around the globe.
A hydrogen valley can lift Finland from an investment slump
Finland needs hydrogen valleys that are more than just hubs for the hydrogen industry. They can help us get investment in Finland going.
It doesn’t matter what the color of hydrogen is as long as it lowers net emissions
Deng Xiaoping, the father of modern China, famously said, “It doesn’t matter whether a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice.” This principle gave rise to unique economic growth in China. The same should apply to hydrogen to boost the global hydrogen economy – color shouldn’t matter. Instead, the focus should be on the carbon intensity (CI) of the hydrogen. This CI should be calculated using a harmonized global methodology allowing for ease in cross-border trade.
Hycamite’s perspective on the proposed 45V regulation for clean hydrogen production
On December 22, 2023, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury) released the proposed regulations on how to implement the 45V Clean Hydrogen Production Tax Credit.
Methane splitting offers an alternative to today’s synthetic graphite production
Current ways of producing synthetic graphite are energy-intensive and vulnerable to geopolitical risks. One new way forward is splitting methane to make high-quality carbon products for use instead of conventional synthetic graphite. Methane splitting helps stabilize supply chains, meet growing demand, keep costs down, and protect the environment.
From side stream to revenue stream – solid carbon from methane gas can replace Chinese graphite in electric car batteries
China has decided to curb its exports of graphite, a key electric vehicle battery material. Solid carbon products produced by splitting methane can provide industry with a reliable alternative to high-value carbon imported from China. Producing solid carbon from methane splitting with catalysts is also much more environmentally friendly than traditional methods for producing synthetic graphite.
North America wants more carbon products – and to reduce their import
The fast-growing battery industry needs the security of supply. While companies’ demand for high-value carbon products is snowballing, it is becoming increasingly crucial for businesses to access battery materials that are produced close to battery factories.
