Hydrogen Generation at Low Temperatures
Dark Matter Materials has developed a more sustainable and low-cost path to hydrogen production through its thermal catalytic water gasification process.
The heart of the innovation is our proprietary nanocomposite catalyst made from low-cost earth-abundant metals that, when reacted with water, produces 99.9% pure hydrogen under exceptionally mild conditions without the release of greenhouse gases.
The water does not need to be fresh; most any type of water can be used including greywater, seawater, industrial wastewater, and tailings water.
Hydrogen On Demand, Anywhere.
We’re redefining hydrogen production with our catalyst-driven process that creates pure hydrogen from nearly any type of water without greenhouse emissions and at a fraction of today’s energy cost.
Our aim is to apply our catalysts to produce clean, affordable hydrogen at scale—empowering industries, communities, and nations to decarbonize without sacrificing economic growth.
The Real Hydrogen Economy
-
Molecular Hâ‚‚ can be naturally occurring but normally must be synthesized.
-
Large-scale Hâ‚‚ production is currently limited to energy-intensive thermal cracking of natural gas with carbon capture, utilization and storage - CCUS (blue), methane pyrolysis (turquoise), and coal (grey).
-
The electrolysis of water (green) is an electrochemical process that consumes electricity to split water into Hâ‚‚ and Oâ‚‚. In 2020, this process accounted for ~0.03% of global production.
-
In the marketplace, Hâ‚‚ production competes with its own energy source, i.e., with "green" electricity from the grid. Hâ‚‚ is a carrier of energy, not a source.
-
Hydrogen is the right fuel, but the wrong energy carrier. Water does that for free.
