THE
METHANE
PROBLEM
MASSIVE
Methane is responsible for around 30% of the rise in global temperatures since the Industrial Revolution.
DEVASTATING
Methane is 86x more damaging to the atmosphere than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period.
URGENT
The Global Methane Pledge calls for a 30% reduction in global methane emissions from 2020 levels by 2030.
We need to take immediate and significant action to reduce methane emissions, but the challenge is that our society is also highly dependent on it.
Natural gas, a leading source of global energy, is made up of 97% methane. While it’s a cleaner-burning fuel than coal or oil, it still releases carbon emissions – and worse, the natural gas infrastructure is notorious for leaking methane into the atmosphere.
Demand for energy has grown exponentially, worldwide, and will only continue to do so. There’s no time to dismantle our existing energy infrastructure and rebuild on a global scale, and certainly not at the speed required to meet climate milestones.
What if the problem could actually be the solution?
In order to transform the natural gas infrastructure into a viable energy source for the future, we have to address two things: 1) mitigate the leaks, and 2) reform natural gas into hydrogen without generating carbon emissions. Our two solutions do exactly that.
Mitigator
The Mitigator targets fugitive methane emissions to clean up leaks in the current natural gas infrastructure.

Reformer
The Reformer turns natural gas into clean hydrogen and graphene, without creating any CO2 emissions.

We're the only company that uses sequential hybrid plasma technology to deconstruct methane (CH4) at a molecular level.
We first excite the methane molecules to an ionized state, and then use high voltage and high frequency arcs to crack the ionized gas under an induced electromagnetic field.
We essentially "zap" methane with plasma lightning to break apart its molecules, and then reconfigure the molecules into cleaner alternatives.
“By decarbonizing the natural gas pipeline that already exists, we can rapidly achieve the clean hydrogen solution the world urgently needs.”
