Reliable, secure, and abundant supply of turquoise hydrogen and high-quality anode-grade graphite — produced through advanced pyrolysis technology.
International alliance perfecting methane pyrolysis technology
Formed by UGS LLC, UGS Europe, Semicom, and Avanpore, the consortium combines expertise in gas processing, advanced materials, and industrial engineering. Together, we commercialize methane pyrolysis technology to produce turquoise hydrogen and high-purity anode graphite, advancing local, carbon‑negative manufacturing. We unite industrial experience with scalable innovation to strengthen energy independence, supply chain resilience, and the global shift toward sustainable production. This work is carried out in collaboration with a leading manufacturer of furnaces — ABP Induction.

TECHNOLOGY
One process — two outputs: carbon-negative graphite and hydrogen. A clean industrial breakthrough delivering strategic materials for batteries and energy systems.
EFFICIENCY
Predictable cost base, built on abundant feedstock and modular scale. Methane input plus proven industrial design enables long-term supply certainty and de-risks execution.
IMPACT
Enabling carbon-negative advanced biofuel production. Unlocking new value chains by integrating with concentrated CO₂ streams.
CH4
Natural Gas / Biomethane
During methane pyrolysis, natural gas / biomethane is heated to high temperatures and split into solid carbon and hydrogen.
A proprietary process protected by global intellectual property.
C
Graphite
99.95% Purity
A strategic mineral essential for the production of batteries in electric vehicles and other high-tech applications.
H2
Hydrogen
Zero Carbon Emissions
Superior cost structure and zero or negative carbon emissions designed for the energy transition and decarbonization of petrochemicals, steelmaking, ammonia, power generation, and transportation.
Decarbonization
Value $
Reducing carbon emissions increases sustainability and strengthens long-term competitiveness.
Natural gas or biomethane fed into a methane-pyrolysis reactor, where it’s injected into molten iron heated electrically. Under high temperature, methane splits into hydrogen gas and high purity graphite. The hydrogen rises and is purified in a PSA unit, while the graphite flakes are separated and sent to storage.
