Title:
Aurora Hydrogen 200kg/day demonstration
Agreement Number:
1029436
Agreement Value:
$898,371.65
Agreement Date:
Mar 4, 2025 - Mar 31, 2026
Description:
Aurora Hydrogen is developing a technology that uses efficient microwave energy to heat natural gas in the absence of oxygen and water (pyrolysis) to produce hydrogen and solid carbon while avoiding the generation of CO2. The technology is highly scalable and modular, units can be installed anywhere there is natural gas and electricity, and the process consumes no water. Hydrogen production using Aurora's technology has the potential to reduce global CO2 emissions by over 900 million tonnes per year.
