High-quality, sustainable carbon for demanding applications
The Hycamite carbon products are based on electrically conductive carbon nanoproducts making them ideal, for instance, for battery production, supercapacitors, electronics, additives in polymers and composite materials, and concrete manufacturing.
Hycamite TCD Carbon is industrially mass-produced carbon nanofibers (CNF).
Our carbon products are produced by decomposing methane molecules. Methane (CH4) is the primary component of natural gas and biogas. One cubic metre of methane contains over 500 grams of carbon. The thermo-catalytic decomposition (TCD) technology developed by Hycamite is based on methane pyrolysis, which is the heating of methane in the absence of oxygen. The catalysts used are what make Hycamite’s process unique.
Our proprietary thermo-catalytic decomposition (TCD) process is emission-free, and the catalysts used are sustainable. When biogas is used as the methane source, you create a carbon sink when you use our carbon products. In addition to producing solid carbon, we also produce zero-emission hydrogen used for decarbonising industry.
Hycamite has developed a family of catalysts that lowers the temperature needed for methane splitting compared to older methods for a methane pyrolysis process. Using different catalysts, Hycamite can also produce different types of carbon products. This means that Hycamite’s carbon products can be adapted to meet the needs of different customers.

Benefits
For demanding applications
Hycamite’s electrically conductive TCD carbon products can be used in many applications, such as lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, electronics, additives in polymers and composite materials, and cement manufacturing.
Turning products into carbon sinks
Using Hycamite’s carbon products enables radical CO₂ footprint reduction. Producing electric vehicle (EV) batteries with graphite in the traditional way creates 330 kg of CO₂ emissions per battery. When a battery is made using Hycamite’s carbon from natural gas, only 66 kg of CO₂ emissions are created. If Hycamite generates that carbon using biogas, the battery becomes a carbon sink, with net negative emissions of 330 kg per battery, as the captured carbon stays in the battery forever.
Sustainable production
Hycamite’s carbon production is significantly more sustainable than other forms of carbon production, such as traditional synthetic graphite production. There are no direct CO₂ emissions into the atmosphere in the carbon production.
Improving product quality
When carbon is used as an additive in concrete, not only are fewer emissions produced, but the performance of the concrete is also improved.
No dependency on unreliable imports
With Hycamite’s technology, different TCD carbon products can be produced anywhere from methane and always without CO₂ emissions. The methane used can be from natural gas, biogas or synthetic gases, making the user no longer dependent on importing carbon from risky sources in other countries.
