Modern Hydrogen’s natural gas decarbonization unit is now onsite at NW Natural. Oregon natural gas users will soon be the first in the nation to benefit from Modern Hydrogen’s technology, turning natural gas and methane into clean hydrogen onsite. Modern Hydrogen and Northwest Natural (NWN) are pioneering an innovative approach to hydrogen production that could significantly alter the energy landscape.
“We’re pursuing a number of pilots to test out methane pyrolysis equipment so that turquoise hydrogen where you’re basically taking natural gas, producing hydrogen and then through methane process that creates a solid carbon output. And that’s basically sequesters the carbon. You can then use that output, got solid carbon in the secondary market like asphalt. And so, we’re really excited about that technology because we’re seeing a number of different companies coming into the market with solutions that range in sizes. The first pilot we’re actually installing the equipment next week is with Modern Hydrogen at our central facility. We’re really excited about getting that off the ground” - Kimberly Heiting with NW Natural on NW Natural’s Earnings Call:
