We're in an energy and climate crisis, it's paradoxical. Hydrocarbons are powerful and portable, but limited and environmentally costly. For Episode 36 of S³ Terraform Industries goes in-depth and reveals how they're making natural gas from thin air.
Innovative technologies such as the Hazer Process offer enormous potential to create new economic opportunities while supporting the de-carbonization objectives of FortisBC and the province. We are delighted to work with FortisBC, Suncor and the government of B.C. on this innovative project which will be a world-leading example of the application of methane pyrolysis.
—Geoff Ward, CEO and managing director of Hazer
The Hazer process enables the effective conversion of natural gas—and similar feedstocks—into hydrogen and high quality graphite, using iron ore as a process catalyst.
Recent results have shown that it is possible to use their technique to selectively produce methane, carbon monoxide or formic acid from carbon dioxide and water. The study has been published in ACS Nano.
