Structured around the objective of achieving production of lowest-cost, cleanest hydrogen on the planet, two of the principal founders of Molten Industries have developed a new way of making low-carbon hydrogen from methane. Initially addressing development of white-hot chemical reactors in a garage at Stanford, the simple process developed by Molten industry's personnel cracked methane at blazing hot temperatures into hydrogen and solid carbon using renewable electricity. No carbon dioxide was created. Instead what was produced was hydrogen and a valuable solid carbon by-product that can be used in concrete, paints, plastics, and tires. Clean methods of hydrogen production alraedy exist exist like water electrolysis but rely on large amounts of renewable wind and solar energy. The approach developed by Molton Industries instead uses seven times less energy than water electrolysis and can use existing natural gas networks to produce clean hydrogen where it is consumed. The methane is responsibly procured from certified low-emissions sources and waste streams such as dairy farms, waste-water treatment plants, and landfills - an approach that leads to hydrogen and carbon that are carbon-neutral or carbon-negative. Hydrogens versatility and potential to decarbonize heavy industries makes essential that it reach reaching net zero: he firm's developed technology unlocks this pote
