The Monolith Process

Through its proprietary technology, Monolith has innovated methane pyrolysis, which uses clean electricity to convert traditional hydrocarbons into hydrogen and carbon (for use in carbon black).

Hydrocarbons feedstock enters here.

A process gas can be added to help heat the hydrocarbons.

The hydrocarbons are super-heated by electricity. This is combustion-free and CO2-free.

The heat breaks the bonds between the hydrogen and carbon in the hydrocarbon molecule.

The pairs of hydrogen atoms and carbon atoms move through the chamber and exit separately.

From here, the hydrogen is directed to end users. The carbon is further processed into carbon black and other uses.
